So if you remember my conversation with Sam Alman from earlier this year, we were talking about what new jobs has AI created. Sam responded, well, >> the first example we saw of that was prompt engineer. >> When he said that, I think some of the responses were, hey, maybe this is actually a new job. And some of the
other responses are like no way this is a job. Like how can you call just prompting, typing out sentences, it doesn't feel like you're doing any work. It's not a big deal. But actually, as I've been looking at people at my own company and now 500 people plus, right? Some of them work very closely with AI.
Some of them don't use AI. I've just seen that the difference between somebody who can communicate what they want very very clearly to an AI knows how all these models are very different from each other and that [music] different prompt patterns give you different outputs. I can now tell the kind of people in the company who can
consistently [music] create awesome stuff with or without AI and at the same time I can see the people who can't actually use AI to its maximum benefit. And strangely enough the people who are capable of using AI and do wonderful stuff are also very good managers. Right? So there is some overlap between the skill of a manager
and a prompt engineer. [music] And what I wanted to do is I actually want to make two videos. This is the first one on how you can think about two different topics, right? One is prompting, the other one is writing. But this video I want to do about how to prompt. So if
you are thinking about generating text, watch this video because I'll tell you a lot of what I figured out with prompting. Quick shout out to today's sponsor, which is Intel. I'm going to show you all these prompts on an AI PC powered by Intel Core Ultra processors because the thing is today it doesn't really matter
