Here are a couple of good resources around prompt engineering

These clearly demonstrate that there's engineering skills beyond "I want you to act as a Linux terminal."

Also note that there's a difference between the prompt that you use on ChatGPT and the one that you use in the GPT API or other LLMs. In the first, you're already dealing with the prompt that openai supplied to the LLM in the first place.

I stopped reading your second link after seeing that the person teaching prompt engineering demonstrated a lack of understanding regarding proper sentence structure.

Right, they use slightly imperfect syntax - because they're a non-native speaker.

Is that what you discount them for?

[IncRnd]

No. Of course that's not the reason. Please don't take your biases and make those sorts of statements about what you believe is in somebody else's thoughts.

The reason was what I stated, which has nothing to do with the provenance or capabilities of that person.
