Yeah I get the same sense. Prompt engineering is short term need while models haven’t really been productized very well. I would certainly expect to be less of a need in the coming couple of years when LLMs are refined and targeted to specific use cases.
Basically the only reason we need prompt engineering is that current models still aren’t that good (relatively). If they were, they would be able to help themselves with the silly task of prompt engineering without all the superstition.
