I think your manager has a skill issue if his output is being badly formatted like that. I'd tell him to include a formatting guideline in his prompt. It won't solve his issues but I'll gain some favor. Just gotta make it clear I'm no damn prompt engineer. lol
I didn't think we should be using it at all, from a security standpoint. Let's run potentially business critical information through the plagiarism machine that Microsoft has unrestricted access to. So I'm not going to attempt to help make it's use better at all. Hopefully if it's trash enough, it'll blow over once no one reasonable uses it. Besides, the man's derided by production operators and non-kool aid drinking salaried folk He can keep it up. Lol
Okay, then self host an open model. Solves all of the problems you highlighted.
Or, you know, don't use LLMs. That also solves all those problems too, costs less, and won't hallucinate your way into lawsuits or whatever.
Nobody is a "prompt engineer". There is no such job, for all practical purposes, and can't be one given that the degenerative AI pushers change their models more often than healthy people change their underwear.
Right, I just don't want him to think that, or he'd have me tailor the prompts for him and give him an opportunity to micromanage me.
