In a few years, everybody will be in big trouble on the job market if they don’t learn how to “prompt

In 2023, artificial intelligence exploded into our everyday life, and today almost everyone is speculating whether AI can take their jobs. For the time being, companies are rather groping about exactly what tasks they can entrust to AI assistants, and the related information security risks can also have an alarming effect on companies. At the same time, the latest research already shows that AI can increase the efficiency of knowledge-based activities by 40 percent – of course, if we can properly instruct, that is, “prompt”. This skill will soon be indispensable on the labor market, and the most important tricks were learned by the technology professionals at Protechtor’s management training – let’s take a look at the most important steps of prompting!

The global market for artificial intelligence is estimated to expand to 1.6 trillion dollars by 2030, OpenAI, famous for its free AI version, offers astronomical payments, and GPT-4 has already written billions of words during user interactions. It’s no wonder that everyone is burning with AI fever, but the attempt usually stops at a point when fun conversations are replaced by tasks and instructions, and we are faced with the fact that the big language model doesn’t really “understand” exactly what we expect from it. In fact, we often get wrong information or wrong conclusions simply because we don’t actually speak the same language.

“It is important to see that although the current developments communicate with us in human language and have a lot of information, they actually have many limitations. We have to look at generative AI as someone who spent his whole life reading in the same room, so his lexical knowledge is diverse, but he does not know the context. Therefore, interactions with artificial intelligence actually have an important trick: the more specific, detailed and direct commands we give, the more usable results we get. This is what the prompt is really about, that is, a set of instructions and guidelines for language models”

– says Dávid Szabó-Stubán, founder and managing director of Promptmaster, who participated in the Protechtor event. The company’s mission is to introduce as many people as possible to this key skill, and in fact, their knowledge has already become part of the curriculum at several domestic universities.
