This will get reversed eventually. Prompt engineering is like messing with stuff in Inkscape or Gimp. It is not easy. The problem currently is that OpenAI and Google have spent a ton on money trying to make the subject of AI decisive so stupid people talk about shit they don’t know anything about. If you haven’t actually tried making stuff with AI, STFU and try it first. You’ll realize it is nothing like the idiot hype media and headline reading fools yap about way too much. I’m actually playing with Stable Diffusion, TTS, and LLMs right now. These are interesting and powerful tools, but the potential skill depth is immense like any other art form. It is just an accelerated tech. It depreciates some old skill sets and creates new ones. Crying about progress here is as dumb as some one hating Gimp because it kills the art of film developing skills in a dark room. It is just the next step in the endless march of progress with inevitable whining luddites.
