Shocked to hear ‘prompt engineer’ is not a real job
Who would have known? Asking AI things was never a real job?!

I am a prompt engineer, I show up to work on time
-
The audacity of using the word "engineer" is galling enough.
-
This article also does not provide any proof that prompt engineer was not a real job.
-
It does a pretty poor job explaining itself, at all. Ironically, it probably would have behooved the author to have used an AI to proofread this.
The hype did not magic the jobs into existence. Because this was all part of marketing chatbots to the enterprise. They wanted companies to believe in the magic of chatbots.
This is a full paragraph from the article. What the fuck is this trying to say? Who is "they"? Literally no questions were answered by this article.

How do you prove a negative?
-
A multimeter on DC.

I mean, a few months back somebody posted a linkedin, mad because they were looking for a prompt engineer, so apparently it is a real job.
-
In this case? Pretty easily with the right data. Though I think an opinion poll would be more interesting
-
By using the definition of the word or asking people for their opinion

It is a real job. You don't make 6 figures doing it. There are multiple websites: outlier.ai, dataannotation.tech, joinstellar.ai that pay people to train LLMs. Usually for $20-$40 /hour.
-
Training is not prompting
-

-
There are already tools and other AI to write the prompt for you. The prompt engineer is automated out of their job.
-
Real or not, I still say not calling it "AI Wrangler" is a major miss...
-
Maybe not just prompt engineer, but that skill will be required among other to effectively utilize many AI tools since the low-code/no-code capabilities are not quite there yet.
