Hiring someone who’s a “prompt engineer” is like hiring someone who says they’re good at googling.
The majority of people I’ve worked with are dog shit at looking up information. I’d be happy with “good at googling.”
I used to be good at googling. But then Google changed what googling did.
“Prompt engineering.” 🤣
“AI” really brings out the goofies, and their even goofier targets lap it up.
Today, strong AI prompting is simply an expected skill, not a stand-alone role.
If a company tells me they expect me to be good at writing prompts at least I know I can dodge that bullet and just never ever work there. Nice.
Now AI can write the prompts…

… How can the market be “real enough” if we can’t tell if any jobs actually existed? Maybe I just don’t know enough about economics.
