I think we need to shift from “prompt engineering” to “prompt vibing”— there is an astonishing lack of actual prompt engineering (eg A/B tests with evaluations) — and it usually isn’t the right frame of mind. People need to develop intuition for chatGPT — and use their theory of mind to consider what chatGPT needs for better performance.
Most people can get good with chatGPT if they know how to edit their prompts (it’s basically a hidden feature—and still not available in the app). Also, I recommend a stiff cocktail or a spliff — sobriety is not the best frame of mind for learning to engage with AI.
Obviously I need some controlled experiments to back of that last claim, but our human subjects board is such a pain in the ass about it…
