Is this before or after it destroys the economy for everyone but the super rich by replacing them and making them compete for fewer and fewer scraps? Sorry, there will be lots more new jobs created by AI probably, like AI wrangler, AI safety consultant and the like. Probably.

I always have a laughing fit whenever I see “Prompt engineer” used unironically in a job posting on LinkedIn.

I just applied for a Prompt Engineer job last week!

Honestly, it's a legit position. Maybe not something that will last a long time, but to do it well you need to know what prompts to give.

The average person might put "cat on a speed boat" whereas someone's job would need to know what "bokeh" is, what kind of camera lens you want to simulate with what F-stop, know the rule of thirds, negative space, etc.

The problem is whether someone is willing to pay for that extra knowledge or get their nephew to pump something out on their iPhone then say it's good enough.
