In Episode 5 of the AI NOW podcast, we'll explore the fascinating world of prompt engineering. Prompt engineering is becoming more and more important as AI models advance. Think of prompt engineering like talking to AI. The way you phrase your requests can affect how good and useful the AI's answers are.

What is prompt engineering?

In short, prompt engineering is making good instructions for AI models. This is especially true for large language models (LLMs) like GPT-3 or Bard. It's about knowing how these models work and using that knowledge to get the results you want.

Why is prompt engineering important?

  • Better Results: Good prompts get more accurate, relevant, and insightful answers from AI.
  • More Efficiency: Knowing how to talk to AI effectively saves you time and effort.
  • Unlocking Creativity: Prompt engineering can help AI models be more creative, letting you come up with new ideas, write interesting stories, and even compose music.

Real-world Examples of Prompt Engineering

  • Someone might ask for a dinner recommendation in Seattle but not provide enough context, leading to a lot of back and forth. A better prompt would be "Hey, I'm at the office on Main Street in Bellevue. What's a good Italian place near me for dine-in tonight?"
  • Someone might ask for "a picture of a parrot". A better prompt would be "a surrealist image of a tropical parrot in a top hat with the city skyline reflected".


The Future of Prompt Engineering

Prompt engineering will become even more important as AI models improve. We can expect more advanced techniques and tools to help people make better prompts.

Tune in to Episode 5 of AI NOW to dive deep into the world of prompt engineering and learn how to unlock the full potential of AI.
