    “The vibe is still the same.”

    Do they have their own language? What does “vibe” mean anymore?

    People thinking they’re AI experts because of prompts is like claiming to be an aircraft engineer because you booked a ticket.

      I have had in person conversations with multiple people who swear they have fixed the AI hallucination problem the same way. “I always include the words ‘make sure all of the response is correct and factual without hallucinating’”

      These people think they are geniuses thanks to just telling the AI not to mess up.

      Thanks to being in person with a rather significant running context, I know they are being dead serious, and no one will dissuade them from thinking their “one weird trick” works.

      All the funnier when, inevitably, they get screwed up response one day and feel all betrayed because they explicitly told it not to screw up…

      But yes, people take “prompt engineering” very seriously. I have seen people proudly display their massively verbose prompt that often looked like way more work than to just do the things themselves without LLM. They really think it’s a very sophisticated and hard to acquire skill…

        “Do not hallucinate”, lol… The best way to get a model to not hallucinate is to include the factual data in the prompt. But for that, you have to know the data in question…

    Oh dear. That mountain of hypocrisy…

    What’s next? Getting mad at the grocery store because other people are buying the same things you do?

      Based on my own in person experience with some LLM fanatics, I think this is quite probable. I’ve heard very sincere feedback from people that think they are amazing because they have “advanced prompt engineering” skills. They think “prompt engineer” will be a very selective job in and of itself and think they have an edge. They think they will be able to work on any field because the LLM will take care of domain specific stuff and their “rare mastery” of prompts will be the hot skill.
