Everything about prompt engineering is just the voodoo chicken.

what's interesting about the anecdotes on that link though, is that once the confusion settles, there is an explanation. the chicken may have made no sense, but the problem did get solved, and the chicken was necessary, but not for the reasons you thought.

maybe prompt engineering will make sense someday, maybe we need artificial general psychology first?
