On the discussion of job replacement due to A.I, the term "prompt engineer" pops up frequently when mentioning new jobs that will arise due to it.

Isn't prompt engineering just typing questions? How is it difficult enough for it to be a desired job in the market?

Do we know any example of companies hiring prompt engineers today?

I don't know how futuristic the boom of the prompt engineering job is, but the negative side (layoffs supposedly due to A.I, even though they can just be lying and it's just layoff to layoff) is already happening, so I'm just trying to find this good side while the bad is happening now.

As the other person said, are you talking about engineering? Or about marketing roles expressly using AI to create content? I'm sure there are marketing roles with AI prompt writing roles open now.

As for engineering roles? Yeah lots of jobs for Ai researchers if you have a degree in data science or the like.

Its not really a job, yet.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.
