The future of being "prompt engineers" horrifies me. Prompt Engineering makes me think of Search Engine Optimisation as if it was a form of "Engineering". What I mean is that you are positioning yourself based on your "abilities" to get useful results out of some gigantic proprietary system subject to the whims of its corporate owners where the skills are at best cargo culting or at worst self delusional.

All the while, all you're really achieving is increasing the corporate masters profits at the expense of those getting left behind who don't want to participate in this wholesale devaluing of human talent across wide swathes of different careers.

I worry for my kids generation if we can't find a way for billions of people to add value again rather than squabble over the privilege of serving the decreasing few who profit from this.

Just my somewhat irrational luddite 2c worth.
