The Philosophy Behind Prompt Engineering

It is an art form reminiscent of Socrates’ attempt to distill wisdom from Athenian youth, but now, it’s only about extracting coherence from silicon brains. We formulate questions with the precision of a poet and the desperation of a philosopher in an existential crisis to whisper something sweet into an algorithm’s ear and hope it whispers something profound back — or at least not completely absurd.

It’s like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how strategically you proceed, it could knock over the pieces, poop on the board, and strut around victoriously.
