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?

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.

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.
