We are now entering a paradigm where computers are
learning to understand and respond in human language,
blurring the lines between human and machine interaction.
This transformative shift has given rise to a critical new
skill: prompt engineering. This chapter serves as an
introduction to this burgeoning field, exploring its
significance, practical applications, and the exciting journey
of mastering the art of communicating effectively with AI.
The emergence of prompt engineering marks a pivotal
moment in the evolution of computing. Historically,
interacting with computers required learning their precise
and often complex languages. Now, LLMs are trained on
massive datasets of text and code, enabling them to
comprehend and generate human-like text with remarkable
proficiency.
