What is prompt engineering?
- [Instructor] Today we are diving deep into the fascinating world of prompt engineering. If you have ever wondered how we instruct powerful models like LLMS to respond precisely to our queries, this session is for you. Imagine sending a message to an advanced LLM. You are merely not chatting, you are guiding it. This guiding mechanism is what we term prompt engineering. Every question you pose, every instruction you offer becomes a pathway guiding the LLM to your desired response. Let's simplify this. Think about training a dog. You merely don't say do something. You provide specific commands like sit or fetch. The dog learns from consistency, repetition and most importantly, clear commands. In the LLM universe, the way you instruct or prompt a language model determines the kind of response you receive. A vague command might lead to a vague response, much like telling a dog to do something and being unsure of what it might do next. The same principle applies here, clarity in command…
