AI Prompt Engineering
-
Prompt engineering is the process of structuring text that can be interpreted and understood by a generative AI model. A prompt is natural language text describing the task that an AI should perform.
A prompt for a text-to-text language model can be a simple query such as "what is 144 divided by 12?", a command such as "write a poem about a flower garden in the spring", or a longer statement including context, instructions, and conversation history. Prompt engineering may involve phrasing a query, specifying a style, providing relevant context or assigning a role to the AI such as "Act as a native Spanish speaker". A prompt may even include providing a few examples for a model to learn from.
