Prompt engineering is a thing. There are courses that teach this new field. Programs like OpenAI’s DALL-E 2, ChatGPT, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Lexica…, require prompt inputs to perform their tasks (art, code, text, etc). If you’d like to learn more about prompts, and how to use them, here are a few resources:

  • Google Spreadsheet for Examples of Prompt Styles

  • Apply any style to any prompt

  • Prompt Engineering From Words to Art

  • Promptly

  • Reddit/r/Prompt Design

I was pleased to see that "prompt engineering" is a thing! From several of your previous wonderfully expansive posts about AI (and picture creating), I've been frustrated by how one is limited by just how creative their original reply/request/order (prompt) for the AI to DO something!

In other (hopefully clearer) words, knowing how far (and creatively deep) one can be in their description to make full, productive use of the ultimate AI output. In first attempts at this, I'd struggle with finding words beyond "make a bunny" (only a slight exaggeration) that would also be genuinely helpful to the AI process in spitting out something worthwhile. Also, which words in my 2-dozen word prompt could've been excised without appreciably affecting the outcome?

Whether it's "what you're supposed to do" or not, I've struggled with how best to communicate with AI...I've always been motivated to improve my communication with fellow humans....now, I'm tasked with honing and whittling my speech so a machine can grok me? Oy vey.

All these are rhetorical questions, Paul, but they give you an idea of what one person (namely me) might struggle with in making room for clear communication beyond the human interaction! Plus, it can't help that I'll be 68 next month!! Always mind-expanding, your posts, and I thank you for that!
