Welcome to the Prompt

0:00

Engineering Podcast, where we teach

0:03

you the art of writing effective

0:03

prompts for AI systems like Chat,

0:07

G P T, mid Journey Dolly, and More.

0:10

Each week we explore prompting techniques,

0:10

interviews with experts and newbies,

0:15

and tips on selling your prompts. Here's your host, Greg Schwartz.

0:20

Welcome to the prompt engineering podcast. So I want to tell you about

0:22

what this podcast is going to

0:25

be and why I'm recording it. So, this podcast is going

0:27

to very different from

0:29

most podcasts about ChatGPT.

0:31

CPT prompt engineering, AI.

0:34

Instead of covering the news, which is awesome. I'm going to be covering

0:37

how to write good prompts.

0:41

To do that. I'm going to be doing some lectures,

0:42

but I'm mostly going to be interviewing

0:45

people who are in the space. People who are writing prompts, people

0:47

where sometimes even selling prompts.

0:50

Yes. That's a thing in case you don't know. As we're doing those interviews.

0:56

We're going to be going through and

0:56

calling out different techniques.

0:59

People use techniques like

0:59

role-playing, shot prompting,

1:04

all kinds of different things. And there will probably be

1:06

some duplication of that, but

1:09

just seeing the technique once

1:09

doesn't mean you've learned it.

1:12

So keep listening, even if you're

1:12

like, I've heard this before.

1:17

Keep listening. You'll learn something. So why did I start this podcast?

1:26

I started this is I've been

1:26

exposed to chat g p t and all of

1:31

this stuff for a bit, and I keep

1:31

seeing, two different things.

1:35

One is my background as a

1:35

user experience designer.

1:39

I see so much noise is

1:39

almost too strong of a word.

1:45

I'd say. People talking about things

1:45

but not explaining it well.

1:48

And one of the other things that I really

1:48

enjoy doing is I teach, so like I I was a

1:53

coach for online dating for quite a while.

1:55

I've taught, people how to do

1:55

programming cuz I was origin

1:58

originally a full stack engineer.

2:01

And so teaching for me is a lot of fun. Coming from the perspective of you, Not

2:02

so much I want to make yet another AI

2:08

news podcast, which like, those are good.

2:10

I'm subscribed to everyone

2:10

I've found so far.

2:13

But I wanna do something where

2:13

I'm teaching people about how

2:16

to use chat u P T and AI and

2:16

to do prompt engineering well.

2:21

The other thing though

2:21

is I grew up my dad.

2:26

When I would, I was in fifth grade,

2:26

sixth grade, ninth grade, and you get

2:30

asked to do an essay, my dad would put

2:30

on his editor hat and just be, going

2:35

through and marking all of this stuff. And so that's how I kind of approach

2:37

prompt engineering is not so much just

2:44

I don't know, let me throw a bunch of

2:44

stuff at the wall and see what sticks.

2:47

How do we really systematize this?

2:49

How do we really narrow it down? Very clean and understandable.

2:53

More to the ai, to the l m, but also

2:53

to, a person trying to understand

2:58

like, why are we doing this? You've probably seen some of the

2:59

prompts that are like Pretend

3:02

you're a prompt engineer.

3:04

You have 30 years of experience, you have

3:04

tons of experience doing A, B, C, D, E, F,

3:09

G and one of the things I'm very curious

3:09

about is and I'm gonna run this as a

3:13

test and I'll probably post it somewhere. The, you are a prompt engineer thing

3:14

pretty clearly has a strong effect.

3:19

How much does the years of experience matter? How much does the, like

3:21

about A, B, C, D E, F matter.

3:25

And let's test it because I'm curious.

3:29

Episodes will come out each week,

3:29

although you might get a few bonuses

3:33

occasionally, but generally you can expect

3:33

podcast episodes to come out every week.

3:38

They'll be posted on YouTube and

3:38

Apple Podcasts and Spotify and

3:43

the Google Podcast store and all

3:43

the usual places so you can listen

3:46

to this wherever is good for you. In the meantime.
