Ask the right questions and give context to get the best answer. Prompt engineering in brief
Asking the right questions is a sign of intelligence, a sign of respect for the person you are talking to, and a sign of preparation for an important meeting.
Just as with a human, you will only get the right answers if you ask the right questions, so it is with a task request to a Generative AI (~ General AI).
The winning formula
Ask the right questions + Provide the right context = Get a great answer.
And this is the focus of the new field of study “prompt engineering”, which researches how to get the best answers and extract the maximum value from the immense data knowledge of AI.
The human analytical role
Once you have the information, you apply human strategic thinking, common sense, understanding of human behaviour and emotions to create a good product. From my personal experience of working with GenerativeAI for over a year to develop my own products, I can confirm that what I have learnt from this very short, fun and clever course is of great practical use in product development!
