And it doesn't require a degree in computer engineering coding. Companies are looking for people to craft prompts that help train AI programs. These people are called prompt engineers (提示工程师) They work on generative artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT. This is AI that creates content, such as text, audio, video, and images, in response to a user's request. Prompt engineers train AI to deliver better response. Anne Bernstein, a prompt engineer at Copu. ai, writes prompts and feeds them into AI tools.This helps the AI generate text, such as a blog post or email, with accurate information and proper tone. She doesn't need to write code to do this. She simply types instructions. Bernstein joined Copy. ai in September 2021. “There weren’ t many of us prompt engineers,”she says. “For a long time, it really felt like it was just me.” That was about a year before ChatGPT went viral for its ability to generate writing and answer questions.

That's why companies are looking for prompt engineers.

As of April, about 2,000 students had taken his two online courses. “People are clamoring for this knowledge,” Lennon says. Will it last? Some say the need for this job will burn out. Ethan Mollick is an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania. “It's not clear that prompt engineering is going to matter long - term,”he says. “AI programs are getting better at predicting what users need.” The high salaries may not last either. “These are jobs that probably only 500 people could do right now,” Lennon says. “In six months, 50,000 people will be able to do that job. The value of this knowledge is greater today than it will be tomorrow.” 78. Prompt engineers don't need a degree in computer engineering or coding, do they? ——— 79.

Writing（作文）（共20分）范文 Our school recently conducted a satisfaction survey on students’ lunches. The survey focused on three main areas: variety, quality, and dining experience. The results of the survey showed that the majority of students were satisfied with the variety of lunch options available. However, there was still a significant portion of students who felt that there was not enough choice. In terms of quality, the survey revealed that many students believed the food was tasty and fresh, but some complained about the portion sizes being too small. Regarding the dining experience, the survey found that most students were happy with the cleanliness and organization of the lunchroom. However, some students expressed concerns about the noise levels and the lack of seating during peak times. Based on these findings, we recommend that the school increase the variety of lunch options to better cater to students’ preferences. Additionally, the school should consider increasing portion sizes to ensure that all students are satisfied with their meals. Finally, we suggest that the school take measures to reduce noise levels and provide more seating during lunchtimes to improve the overall dining experience. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
