Do you mean to tell me that Prompt Engineer isn't a real job??
There are people getting paid for it. So I guess it actually is at least for now.
It was, but they lost their jobs to AI automation.
Do you mean to tell me that vibe-writing prompts is an equivalent to an engineering degree??
I'll just vibe write one broseph, it's the wave of the f̵u̶t̶u̸r̶e̷, g̴̘̖͆ę̶̮͊t̴̢̼͗̎ o̷̼̭̰̍ṉ̸̣̗͛̔ b̴͓͚͗̈́o̵̙͉̎ä̴̲̯́̇r̸͕̽̈d̶̦̫̍̃ o̶̠͗̑̚r̸̙͖̈́ g̷̡̻̠̲͔̖̜̠̣͓̉̈́̎͆͛̀͒̽͑ȩ̴͔̞͕͑̀̓͗̋͑̈̾̌̓̕t̸̞̥̲̟̲̬̀̐ l̷̞̮̓͐̐̐̔́́̽̏̅͋̄͛̚e̶͉̲̼̘̹̒̐̉͐̓̽̔̅̒̿̽̀̾̊̀f̵̢̧̨̨̛̬̤̗̻̟̱̯̳̞̳̝͎͔̱͕̲͓̰͉͕̭͐͊̆̒̿̊͗͑̈́́̈́̀̀̂̂̄͘ͅt̴̢̧̥͍̼͙̙̝̫̹̙͚̭̱̯̜̳͕̜̼͍̆̔̎̄̂̏̌̈́͗̊͊̋͐͆̃̕͝ b̴̧̧̢̡̢̢͕͖̞̫̤̹͉̲̬̟̗̝̞͓͕̺͈̫̱̰͇͎͙͎̖̜͙̦͎̖̥͇̘̹̦͇̦͕̹͎͓̻͇̳̖̰̬̞͕̯̖͖̼̰̹́̈́̾́͗͐̅͌̀̎͛͒̐̔̎̆͗̽̒̒͒̈̀͊͗́̌͂͛͑̄͐̄̐͛̀̏̀̽̇͛̍̽̽̚͝͠͝e̶̢̡̛̛̞̯̦͈͓͙̳̗̜̤͍̜͖͍̩͊̌͑̏̇̀̈́́̏̿͂̈́̈́̽̈́̀̇͂̉̾̓̑͛͒̈̇͆̽̌̃̅̉̀̾̇̐͊̈́̊̀̇̆̚̚͜͝͠h̸̡̢̢̨̨̛̹̠̳͈͙̙̗̮̫̣̦̠̲͇̰̺̘͖͇̰̯͖̺͍̬̙̠͕̱̗̙̹̘̼̜̙͚̦̥̪͍̲̻̼̦̖͍͔̬̮̰͈̳̦͖̬̻̓̐̾̅͋̂͛͐̓̍́̔̌̃̍̌͆͒̍̃͐̇͑̃́́́͌̆͗̊̀̐̃̂̈́̎͌̾̇́́̊͑̒̔̃̓̀̋͌̚̕͜͜͠͠͠͠͠͠͠͠ͅͅị̷̧̡̙̺̟̰̬͕͔̥̥͈̲͚̠̙̗͍̯̠͖̲̞͔͎̬̮͍̝͕̐́͛̈́͗͐̀̑͗͐̿̍̈͗̏̀̇̆͛̄̍̃̎̃͆̀͑͗̈́͆͛̏̆͑̓̃̀̂̄̚͘̕̕̚͘͜͝ͅn̵̨̧̢̢̢̛̛̛̛̛̻͔̩̯̭͚̯̲͙̤͔̟̫̗̪̥̯̲̲̝̰̮͓͓̦̱͓̤̮̖̥͇͖͕̄̂̑̌̿̃̎̎̌̌̑͌̾͒̑̽̀͗͛͆̀̍̾̽̐̍̍̆̂̃͌̽̄́̾͗̃͛̆͘͘̚͜͝͝͝͝ͅͅd̴̨̧̨̡̢̨̨̳̱̣͎͍̯̯̺̼̜͖̠̩̞̫̭͉͈͕̞̺͔̦̰̼̖͖̰̼͍̟͎̫͉̣̙̮͉̭̹̰̞̈́͆̂̅͒̽̌͛͌̈̏̍̿͐͋̎̓̒̒̆̄̕̕͝͠͠͠ͅ
Just wanted to say I noticed and appreciate the effort to have what looks like two stages of zalgo there (unless there's a generator out there that will auto-increase it over the string, in which case........ link? hehe)
I searched for one, either it's not out there (yet) or my searching sucks.
Also it's increased in each word after the start, just not dramatically at first.
Y'know, I hadn't noticed "future" at first, and for my on desktop, it does reach a limit (re: the screenshot another user made). Hah, so even more kudos for the effort <3
Little makes me happier than a silly internet meme like that :)
It's pretty dramatic...
That's the line wrapping of your client, it doesn't start until the word 'future'.
I know, but that's pretty much how anybody on mobile will see it.
Looks more dramatic on mine.
Mine also, can't win 'em all. 🤷
I mean it is a real job, and it takes a unique skill set if your actually building the workflow, tuning the model and learning the tooling.
But it's not the same job as artist.
Its like comparing a stone sculpture to a welder. Both can make art but it's two VERY different processes and results.
The problem is the stupid ass prompt engineers are claiming to be artists and have no actual art skills. And 99% of them don't even understand how the fuck their own tooling works, understand how to actual tune the model or even what it's training set really is.
They just slap words into the slop generator and call it a day
It's the equivalent of yeeting a paint can at a wall and calling it art.
It's fucking stupid
Stop talking. Prompting isn't working. I know, because I do it all day.
Everyone should just stop talking about it at this point and only look at the quality of their output. If you're AI-assisted and your shit still sucks then that's just you sucking shit.
3D modelling has nothing to do with prompts and tuning models. The output is objectively garbage to anyone with even passing knowledge of the subject.
Just like with anything machine generated, it's always really capable and will completely dominate the market, but only to the layperson who has no fucking clue what they're talking about.
