TODAY'S PERSPECTIVE

Why your expertise is about to become the next hot commodity

With the launch of GPT-4 Vision, Microsoft’s auto agents, and tons of announcements from all sorts of tech companies it’s easy to get caught back up in the AI whirlwind. AI is heating up again 🔥 

But quietly, we’re seeing one other trend emerge: a next level of prompting, centered around translating expertise.

Today we’re going to talk about the value of that expertise.

First, a poll -

Ok so without spoiling the result … the reality is, most people don’t want to write prompts. It's a task that requires time, iteration, and most importantly - really knowing what you want the model to do.

But here's the kicker: that last part - really knowing what you want the model to do - is about to become the next hot commodity in AI.

Why? Because creating good prompts isn’t just about writing a question for an AI to answer. It's about teaching an AI system to do a task how you’d want it done.

And to do that - you need to know how you want it done.

The best prompt engineers for content creation are all copywriters.

The best prompt engineers for sales are all salespeople.

… and so on.

Our two cents? Focus on developing that intersection.

As AI models become more powerful, and able to do more for us - articulating what you want done and how you want it done won’t become less important. If anything, it will become more.
