Getting AI to work for you

What is Prompt Engineering

How do we get the AI to work to the maximum of its potential and do the things we want it to do.

That is where humans still have some control with the AI as it will need to be directed as to what you want it to achieve.

We direct the AI by building prompts.

Prompt engineering, in simple terms, refers to the process of carefully designing and formulating queries or inputs, known as prompts, to effectively guide an AI language model towards generating desired responses.

This practice is crucial because even though advanced language models like OpenAI’s GPT-4 possess the ability to comprehend and generate human-like text, they heavily rely on prompts to initiate and structure conversations.

The choice of words and how a question or command is phrased greatly influences the output received from the model.

To illustrate this, let’s consider a scenario where you want to inquire about the capital of Spain from an AI language model.

If you provide a vague prompt such as “Spain or Spanish cities,” the AI model may not grasp the specific information you’re seeking.

Consequently, it might provide a range of results, including details about Spain’s geography, history, or economy, without accurately addressing your intended query.

Thus, the more specific you are with your prompt, the better the return you will receive in terms of an answer.
