Responding with "skill issue" in a discussion is itself a skill issue. Maybe invest in some conversational skills and learn to be constructive rather than parroting a useless meme.

First of all, there is no such thing as "prompt engineering". Engineering, by definition, is a matter of applying scientific principles to solve practical problems. There are no clear scientific principles here. Writing better prompts is more a matter of heuristics, intuition, and empiricism. And there's nothing wrong with that — it can generate a lot of business value — but don't presume to call it engineering.

Writing better prompts can reduce the frequency of hallucinations but frequent hallucinations still occur even with the latest frontier LLMs regardless of prompt quality.

So you are saying the acceptable customer experience for these systems is that we need to explicitly tell them to accept defeat when they can’t find any training content/web search results that matches my query enough?

Why don't they have any concept of having a percentage of confidence in their answer?

It isn’t 2022 anymore, this is supposed to be a mature product.

Why am I even using this thing rather than using the game’s own mod database search tool? Or the wiki documentation?

What value is this system adding for me if I’m supposed to be a prompt engineer?
