Yes, we’re talking about ChatGPT, that wondrous tool that can mimic a programmer, act like a healthcare professional, and even pretend to be your personal therapist. The quality of the advice and insights you get from the bot, of course, hinges on the quality of the questions you throw its way.

This emerging skill could be your ticket to your next job, as companies are on the lookout for talent with this particular specialization. DeepLearning, in collaboration with OpenAI, has thrown its hat into the ring with its ChatGPT Prompt Engineering for Developers course. Following hot on its heels is Vanderbilt University with its own Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT.
What’s Prompt Engineering. It’s the art and science of crafting top-notch inputs to generate equally impressive outputs. As large language models like ChatGPT gain traction, this skill is becoming increasingly important.
During the course, students start with crafting basic prompts and gradually level up to more complex ones, all the while honing their interaction with ChatGPT.
