"prompt engineers" are living in the past.

"prompt engineers" are living in the past. they're gonna be replaced by "prompt agents". you won't even be allowed to write the copyrightable words "large breasts trending on art station in the style of someone else's life's work" you'll just drool the word "horny" or "app" into the saas and the cloud will dispense the most statistically probable approximation of your most statistically probable desires and praise you on the above average quality of your drool.

@aeva

That's a wiked idea,,,
I've never known engineers that make thing work be prompt about anything... The stock answer when asked is ..
It'll be ready in about... (a few moments later) ... 2 weeks.

@aeva

I propose a new command:

"YOLO"

It takes no arguments. It just generated one of those statistically likely prompts, processes it, and it gives you... Something.

Maybe an AI slop image of some fantasy art, maybe a torrent of some obscure art flick, maybe a poem, who knows.

Or you can pay for the premium version which takes a thumb up or down after, and it will try to learn what you like, maybe, as far as you know.

@aeva I think "prompt agents" are already living in the past. They are going to be replaced with "prompt algorithms" that will consume all of your phone calls, emails, search history and other personal information, and just create something for you while also charging you $1000 every month because it knows your'e happy to pay and thanks you for your praise for the "quality content" it generates for you.
