In the developing field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the ability to think quickly has become increasingly significant. The necessity of communicating with AI models efficiently becomes critical as these models get more complex. In this article we will explain a number of sophisticated prompt engineering strategies, simplifying these difficult ideas through straightforward human metaphors. The techniques and their examples have been discussed to see how they resemble human approaches to problem-solving. Chaining Methods Analogy: Solving a problem step-by-step. Chaining techniques are similar to solving an issue one step at a time. Chaining techniques include directing the AI via a systematic

Apply these techniques when crafting prompts for large language models to elicit more relevant responses.
Generative AI (GenAI) tools have come a long way. Believe it or not, the first generative AI tools were introduced in the 1960s in a Chatbot. Still, it was only in 2014 that generative adversarial networks (GANs) were introduced, a type of Machine Learning (ML) algorithm that allowed generative AI to finally create authentic images, videos, and audio of real people. In 2024, we can create anything imaginable using generative AI tools like ChatGPT, DALL-E, and others. However, there is a problem. We can use those AI tools but can not get the most out of them or use them
Prompt engineering has burgeoned into a pivotal technique for augmenting the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs), utilizing task-specific instructions or prompts to amplify model efficacy without altering core model parameters. These prompts range from natural language instructions that provide context to guide the model to learning vector representations that activate relevant knowledge, fostering success in myriad applications like question-answering and commonsense reasoning. Despite its burgeoning use, a systematic organization and understanding of the diverse prompt engineering methods still need to be discovered.

Prompt engineering is an emerging skill and one companies are looking to hire for as they employ more AI tools. And yet dedicated prompt engineering roles may be somewhat short-lived as workforces become more proficient in using the tools.
A Comprehensive Overview of Prompt Engineering
Prompt Engineering, also known as In-Context Prompting, refers to methods for how to communicate with LLM to steer its behavior for desired outcomes without updating the model weights. It is an empirical science and the effect of prompt engineering methods can vary a lot among models, thus requiring heavy experimentation and heuristics. This post only focuses on prompt engineering for autoregressive language models, so nothing with Cloze tests, image generation or multimodality models.
