OpenAI CEO Sam Altman <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20230108000408\/https:\/\/greylock.com\/greymatter\/sam-altman-ai-for-the-next-era\/\">believes that<\/a> <em>&#8220;we won&#8217;t be doing prompt engineering in 5 years&#8221;<\/em> as interfaces improve. Researchers associated with the prompt optimization library DSPy <a href=\"https:\/\/spectrum.ieee.org\/prompt-engineering-is-dead\">have declared<\/a> <em>\u201cAI prompt engineering is dead\u201d<\/em>, demonstrating that AI itself can actually generate more effective prompts than humans can. Does this spell the end for prompt engineering as a career field before it has even gotten started?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prompt engineering is a skill not a job<br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I call myself a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/mjt145\/\">prompt engineer<\/a> on LinkedIn, and I published a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Prompt-Engineering-Generative-AI-Future-Proof\/dp\/109815343X\/\">prompt engineering book<\/a> through O\u2019Reilly, so I\u2019m extremely bullish on this trend. However, I don\u2019t think \u2018prompt engineer\u2019 will be a common job role. Rather, it will be a skill you need to possess in order to do many jobs effectively, just like being proficient in using&nbsp; Microsoft Excel, but it would be weird to call yourself an \u2018Excel engineer\u2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Already I am seeing the term \u2018prompt engineer\u2019 level out after an initial spike, as the momentum carries itself into a broader \u2018AI engineer\u2019 role, which includes fine-tuning custom models, implementing logging and evaluation metrics, and building the infrastructure needed to provide LLMs with the right context.<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/brainlabdev.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-2-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"609\" src=\"https:\/\/brainlabdev.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-2-1-1024x609.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12709\" style=\"width:530px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brainlabsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-2-1-1024x609.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.brainlabsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-2-1-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brainlabsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-2-1-768x456.png 768w, https:\/\/www.brainlabsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-2-1-1536x913.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.brainlabsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-2-1.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/trends.google.com\/trends\/explore?date=today%205-y&amp;q=prompt%20engineer,ai%20engineer&amp;hl=en\">Google Trends<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was prompt engineering back in 2020 with the GPT-3 beta, and a lot of the tips, tricks and hacks needed to get the model to output usable results were suddenly no longer needed when GPT-4 came out. This reminds me of the early days of SEO, when you used to be able to\u00a0 employ\u00a0 black hat techniques like stuffing the same keyword multiple times on the page &#8211; this eventually stopped working as Google got better at figuring out what \u2018good\u2019 content was! I predict we\u2019ll see the same timeline with ChatGPT, but accelerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rise of frameworks like <a href=\"https:\/\/dspy-docs.vercel.app\/docs\/building-blocks\/solving_your_task\">DSPy<\/a> allow AI engineers to operate at an even higher level of abstraction, defining the inputs and outputs, as well as the evaluation criteria, and directing AI to carry out the hard work of applying prompt engineering tactics to optimize performance. A recent study shows that DSPy achieves 50% better performance scores and saves over 20 hours versus a human prompt engineer (when comparing the F1 score of 10-Shot AutoDiCoT versus DSPy Default). However, the best scores came from the combination of DSPy and small modifications by the human prompt engineer.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/brainlabdev.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-3-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"759\" src=\"https:\/\/brainlabdev.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-3-1-1024x759.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12710\" style=\"width:405px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brainlabsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-3-1-1024x759.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.brainlabsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-3-1-300x222.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brainlabsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-3-1-768x569.png 768w, https:\/\/www.brainlabsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-3-1-1536x1139.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.brainlabsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-3-1.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/learnprompting\/status\/1800931928322834504\">X.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before getting into the AI space, I co-founded a growth marketing agency called <a href=\"https:\/\/ladder.io\/\">Ladder<\/a> in 2014, back when digital was a rounding error versus TV ad budgets, and most marketers were creative, rather than technical or data-driven.

However, even the most intelligent humans in any organization still require a form of &#8220;prompting&#8221; to perform effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the smartest employee in your company. No matter how brilliant or capable they are, they still need direction and guidance from management to align their efforts with business objectives. They need input from HR to understand company policies and expectations. They require feedback from legal to ensure they&#8217;re operating within regulatory boundaries. And they benefit from regular performance evaluations to help them grow and improve.<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/brainlabdev.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-5-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"246\" src=\"https:\/\/brainlabdev.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-5-1-1024x246.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brainlabsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-5-1-1024x246.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.brainlabsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-5-1-300x72.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brainlabsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-5-1-768x185.png 768w, https:\/\/www.brainlabsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/prompt-engineering-blog-image-5-1.png 1172w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hammer_mt\/status\/1803158193385906440\">X.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many ways, this ongoing &#8220;prompting&#8221; of human employees is not so different from the prompting we give to AI systems today. It&#8217;s all about providing the right inputs, context, and feedback to help the intelligence &#8211; whether artificial or biological &#8211; perform in line with the organization&#8217;s goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As AI systems grow more sophisticated, the nature of prompting may change, but the fundamental need to guide and direct their efforts will remain. In this sense, working with AI may come to resemble the management of human employees more than traditional computer programming. The most successful organizations will likely be those that can effectively &#8220;prompt&#8221; both their human and AI resources, aligning them to work together towards common objectives.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One day, most of your coworkers will be AI<br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As language models and other AI systems grow more advanced, they are increasingly able to simulate human-like intelligence and capabilities. In effect, they are becoming more and more like virtual employees or coworkers.

Many of the best practices for managing AI &#8211; providing clear direction, setting expectations, offering feedback, aligning efforts with business goals &#8211; are the same practices that have worked for decades in managing people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this future, AI management best practices may fit more naturally within the domain of MBA programs than computer science departments. The day-to-day work of interacting with AI will increasingly resemble the work of a mid-level manager overseeing a team. It will involve coordinating the efforts of human domain experts and AI agents, ensuring smooth collaboration and alignment towards common objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Business leaders and professionals across all industries should start preparing for this future now by embracing AI as a tool to augment and collaborate with human intelligence. The most successful individuals and organizations will be those that can effectively combine the unique strengths of human and artificial intelligence &#8211; the creativity, empathy and judgment of humans with the speed, scale and analytical power of AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, working with AI will be less about technical skills like coding or data science, and more about the timeless skills of effective leadership, communication, and collaboration. By starting to cultivate these skills in the context of AI now, businesses and individuals can position themselves for success in a future where artificial intelligence is a ubiquitous part of the workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To keep up with Michael&#8217;s latest thoughts on AI and more, you can follow him on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/mjt145\/\">LinkedIn<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hammer_mt\">Twitter<\/a>.
