  This article also does not provide any proof that prompt engineer was not a real job.

      I mean, a few months back somebody posted a linkedin, mad because they were looking for a prompt engineer, so apparently it is a real job.

      In this case? Pretty easily with the right data. Though I think an opinion poll would be more interesting

      By using the definition of the word or asking people for their opinion

    It is a real job. You don’t make 6 figures doing it. There are multiple websites: outlier.ai, dataannotation.tech, stellar.ai that pay people to train LLMs. Usually for $20-$40 /hour.

      Training is not prompting

  There are already tools and other AI to write the prompt for you. The prompt engineer is automated out of their job.

  Real or not, I still say not calling it “AI Wrangler” is a major miss…

  Maybe not just prompt engineer, but that skill will be required among other to effectively utilize many AI tools since the low-code/no-code capabilities are not quite there yet.
