125. Prompt Engineering: Latest Meme or The Next Big Thing?

The Next Byte Podcast · 6 Jun 2023 · 28m

What this episode covers

Hosts Daniel and Forbode discuss whether prompt engineering is a legitimate career or a passing meme, analyzing the skills required to effectively interface with generative AI models like ChatGPT and Midjourney. They compare the iterative nature of prompt engineering to learning a new programming language or using calculators in math, arguing that it accelerates productivity rather than replacing human critical thinking. The hosts highlight the rapid adoption of generative AI, citing ChatGPT's user growth and revenue projections, and note job openings at companies like OpenAI and in the federal government.

    S4E43 Kevin Surace | How To Use AI For Engineering

    Kevin Surace, an AI keynote speaker and founder of Appvance, explains that large language models are statistical tools that amplify human intelligence rather than replace it, comparing them to calculators for language. He argues that AI will increase productivity, potentially leading to shorter workweeks, and helps engineers by generating novel design ideas, writing code, and improving quality assurance through computer vision. Surace emphasizes that while AI is not yet good at designing complex machinery, it excels at processing vast amounts of technical data to suggest solutions and automate routine tasks. He advises engineers to use AI as a co-pilot for communication, coding, and creative problem-solving to overcome skill gaps and accelerate their careers.
