    The word engineer used to mean something. Are we plugging that title into every trendy new job? This guy unironically compared what he does to a bridge engineer is insane.
  • @demanorazfly
    If this guy is a prompt engineer then I'm a Youtube comment engineer
  • @britneyc6731
    Honestly, before looking it up I thought prompt engineering was another way to refer to the people who developed the AI/large language models (i.e like another term for a software developer). If what this guy said at the beginning is the main point of his job, testing different prompts to see what the AI spits out, then would it really fall under engineering? His like an A/B tester/ maybe quality management?
  • @sorcery777
    7:35 but your not designing the "bridge" you would be more like the person jumping on it to make sure it doesnt fall. that doesnt make you an engineer
  • @Jan-td9yl
    Soo why isnt there a secound ai layer to replace his job? I mean this sounds like a realy unnecessary job. "try and error" is the AIs job
  • @anooooooo-x7m
    Wired really be out there leaving this video up and letting this guy get roasted like my grandma's thanksgiving turkey.
  • @ANTHONYEVELYNN
    I the USA dont have protective laws against the use of the title “engineer” like canada has so people can just call themselves engineers. This is just another level of search optimization. Its like a professional google searcher…
  • @unicornopia
    "Prompt Writer" or "Prompt Editor" would be more accurate
  • @The_RedVIII
    Oh my god, are they actually calling themselves "Prompt Engineers"?? WTF. lol
  • @ButtonedUpBailey
    I’m always super polite to the AI for no reason. My friends caught me saying “please” to ChatGPT when I asked for some information 😭 I hope the robots at least spare me when the uprising happens!
  • @Hahahahaaahaahaa
    7:37 When you have to put in a defense for your title in your casual Q&A, that's when you know you don't deserve that title. (I mean...you should have known already but here we are)
  • @billyraybar
    I rather my kid choose any field over ‘Prompt Engineering’.
  • @LightningLion500
    Yeah, I've worked with big LLM's and as a "prompt engineer" you just try to poke the AI, see if something good comes out and then document it lol.
  • @Tomy_Yon
    If you ask artists in general what is the hardest thing to draw: it's hands. 😊
  • @MercedesDenz
    I was expecting him to come around the corner with a whole Snap-On trolley and engineer them prompts
