Back in my day, we used to call ‘prompt engineering’ ‘asking a question’.
back in my day, we call it "google fu"
And then we had to actively unlearn that google fu because google no longer works with keywords, but rather has an NLP pipeline that expects a question.
So that’s why I can’t find shit. I always just use keywords, asking a whole question seems almost wasteful.
Wow, no wonder most of the old search commands don’t even feel like they work…
The last straw in utterly ruining it was when they removed using quotes to get exact matches. That was the only way to cut through the garbage. Now the only use for google search is searching within specific websites that never bothered to make their own decent search function.
Using quotes for exact matches works in both Google and Bing. Literally just tested it
Fucking right?!
It adds this weird abstract where the search keywords the question you ask but that requires you to ask the right question. Sometimes I just need the page that has the most mentions of a specific word or phrase.
That reminds me of something. I don't remember precisely why, nor what line it resonates with in my brain, but it reminds me of this guy from The Core (movie):

That's DJ Qualls, who was great in Z Nation. Too bad no one watched Z Nation. It was hilariously insane. I mean, radioactive post-nuke zombies? At least it got an ending.
I caught an episode of it on sci-fi and it was great. Much better than its contemporaries.
I still say "Google fu"!
They got to have a special termonology because what they do is oh so special. Some AI users act like they're Louise Banks from the movie Arrival cracking the code to an alien language or something. And I don't think it's far fetched to assume they're often from the same breed who had NFT monkeys as their twitter pfp about 18 months ago.
Blockchain > Crypto > NFTs > LLMs > whatever's next.
These people will always be sniffing around for the next big thing to oversell and fleece their audience.
LMAO people forgot Metaverse even happened
when i think of "prompt engineering" i think more of stuff like this paper
Its more than because half the time it doesn't even answer the question.
