Prompt engineering I mean it seriously, get him to play with Stable Diffusion, DALL-E 2, GPT-3, Codex. Let him train asking the AI model in the right way so he gets what he needs.

Think of programming- it is a way to tell the computer what to do so that you can make use of it, right? Large AI models can also do very powerful things - generate text, summarize text, write code, draw images etc. Things that are difficult with classical programing languages

These large AI models typically react to natural language prompts - you tell them what they should do for you and they do it. Often though, you should know how to ask - there comes prompt engineering. How to define a prompt to get the maximum effect?

You already see guides about prompting specific models emerging. The other day I even saw a company offering prompting services - they help you define prompts for your problem. And you can see how experienced people are able to extract much better things from the models.

And we are just starting with these kind of large AI models. Just yesterday Meta released a language to video model and there was a new model for text to 3D models. This is just getting started!

Last example - I use GutHub Copilot for months now and I already modified some of my programming habits to get more help! For example when I’m using a new library and don’t know how ti do something particular I don’t look it up on SO, but write a comment for GC to finish it.
