Formal prompt engineering certification?

Lol. Lmao even

Calling them 'prompt engineers' has to be a real kick in the nuts to actual engineers.

The word "relevant" suggests that the only people who can possibly meet those qualifications are the authors of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_Is_All_You_Need, which was published just about 9 years ago

You can work much faster with AIs than is shown on wall clock time.

Just make sure that you’re working with 9 LLMs at once and you can get that 9 years experience in just one year.

Guess who wrote that job description

Yeah, that kinda crap has been around for forever, I know I ran into these same types of HR written BS requirements back in the 2000 when I was searching for jobs and .NET and Java was the latest hotness, been out for just a few years and was running into job postings requesting 5 - 10 years of experience.

As a mobile dev, I remember seeing jobs early on that would have years of experience required that predated android/ios.

It says overall experience. Just say you worked two simultaneous AI jobs for the last five years and you're good!

Machine learning/LLM actually was around 10 years ago, it just didn't have the farcical "AI" moniker.

Good thing I've used ELIZA my whole life.

I was a PM and wrote specs, that's prompt engineering.

I've got like 30 years experience with AI if you include street fighter 2 turbo edition single player mode

We could go pretty far back depending on how you define it. We had less useful items that still could qualify in the same category as a modern LLM 7-8 years ago which gets us close... You could potentially stretch the definition to something like Megahal which is pushing pretty close to 30 years old.

There were technically ais back then. They just didn't do much and just spout nonsense sentences

That's more experience than Big Balls had to go through everyone's shit.
