First, future generations of AI systems will get more intuitive and adept at understanding natural language, reducing the need for meticulously engineered prompts. Second, new AI language models like GPT4 already show great promise in crafting prompts — AI itself is on the verge of rendering prompt engineering obsolete. Lastly, the efficacy of prompts is contingent upon the specific algorithm, limiting their utility across diverse AI models and versions. - [View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01h4zad3j292gh57n8xkxb1nk9) --- > what is a more enduring and adaptable skill that will keep enabling us to harness the potential of generative AI? It is *problem formulation* — the ability to identify, analyze, and delineate problems. - [View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01h4zadkm7bjwrpj32yqwtetmr) ---
