I've never understood the meaning behind "prompt engineering". Has it ever been anything beyond "can you clearly and accurately describe the problem you are trying to solve or the task you are trying to accomplish?" Seems to be basic communication skills.
I've never seen hard data that certain "formatted prompts" like, "you are a B doing C and need to do D" being any better than any other sorts of clear and concise instructions.
Mind boggling to me that people have created a new name for what used to simply be called good communication skills... though I suppose the eternal stereotype of engineers being poor writers might be more truth than fiction.
