I think the way "AI" is marketed will lead to even more people wanting to use it who have no experience what it means working with data. Anything that is built from data is approximate. Don't believe it is solved because big tech tells you it is.

This includes "prompt engineering." This isn't like learning how to build an app in flutter. What they really should teach people is how to define problems in a quantitative way and how to properly validate on test data.

And BTW, if you have test data and a metric, prompt engineering becomes yet another exercise in generative AI. Think about that before you go all in on prompt engineering.
