I agree with you on all of those points - but my conclusion is different: those are the reasons it's so important to me that the prompts are not abstracted away from me!

I'm working with Llama 2 a bunch at the moment and much of the challenge is learning how to prompt it differently from how I prompt GPT-4. I'm not yet convinced that an abstraction will solve that problem for me.

this is one of the reasons why Langchain sucks. People seem to underestimate and overlook the importance of prompts.

We do this to each other as well. Being able to communicate clear, concise, and complete requests will produce better results with both humans and LLMs. What is interesting is that we can experiment with prompts against machines at a scale we cannot with other people. I'd really like to see more work towards leveraging this feature to improve our human interactions, kind of like empathy training in VR
