Involves human writing, refining and optimizing prompts in a structured way. This is done with the intention of perfecting the interaction between human and AI to the highest degree possible.

Prompt Engineering

• write, refine and optimize prompts
• perfect the interaction between humans and AI
• continuously monitor those prompts
• maintain an up to date prompt library

Artificial Intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines. Simulation means that AI is not sentient, at least not yet. It cannot think for itself.

Machine learning - feeding training data to machines.

Example

Prompt: I want you to act as a spoken English teacher. I will speak to you in English and you'll reply to me in English to practice my spoken English. I want you to keep my reply neat, limiting the reply to 100 words. I also want you to strictly correct my grammar mistakes and typos. And I want you to ask me a question in your reply. Now, let's start practicing. You could ask me a question first. Remember, I want you to strictly correct my grammar mistakes and typos.

GPT-4: Of course! I'm ready to assist you with your spoken English. Here's your first question: "What hobbies do you have and why do you enjoy them?" Remember to answer in English, and I'll provide corrections if needed.

• way more interactive
• communicating with the AI
• completely different experience based on the prompt we wrote
