LLM for the foreseeable future function most reliably as a user interface layer for other system. I use GPT to “translate” natural language down into the API calls that get real data and it works great. I’d never trust it beyond that.

You trained it with "this phrase means this command" examples? How do you make it use your custom API? (Or you are not using your custom API?)

Basically yeah, just a pretty detailed set of prompts and then “turn the next message into an api call” and it basically works perfectly.

When I first heard the term “prompt engineer” I rolled my eyes, but now that I’ve gotten into it I see it’s really an art form.
