Original author here. I'm a programmer. I started on the Applied team at OpenAI back in 2020 as a prompt engineer (I helped create many of the examples in the GPT-3 docs.) I became the Science Communicator for OpenAI in 2021.

My blog audience is very non-technical so I write very broadly. We've been super busy with the launch of GPT-4 and Plugins (I produced the video content, found examples, briefed media on technical details, etc.) so I was only able to grab a few hours to put these demos together.

As far as the ChatGPT prompts go, I included a few, but they're just simple instructions. Unlike GPT 3.5 where I'd spend an hour or more getting the right instruction to do zero-shot app creation, GPT-4 just gets it.

Thanks for the reply! That makes sense, I just didn't see mention of coding in your bio. You've had a very varied career!
I always have trouble figuring out what to put in my bio. Every five years I'd shift into something new that caught my interest.

After a stint in entertainment I realized that AI was where everything was heading. I took up programming and started studying AI.

Wow, you learned programming specifically to work with AI? That is an inspiring level of flexibility in skills and self-identification. Perhaps many of us will need to learn how to do that sort of reinvention sooner, rather than later.
