The Place of Respect in Prompt Engineering
Introduction
Prompt Engineering is blowing up as a topic of discussion. Now that ChatGPT4 is entering the scene, it is even more so. In one of these discussions there was a comment made the mirrored something I’ve been thinking about recently.

Of course you could also ask the question: Should I trust ChatGPT to correctly answer ANY question? Continue reading
