And that's why I ignore the people that laugh at the whole prompt engineering thing, because it's a genuine skill.

At the moment GPTs are trained on so much data across so many domains that you have to treat it like a person who has similar knowledge.

If I just walk up to you and start sputtering jargon about a very specific complex topic, when you were just chatting to another friend about all sorts of everyday topics, you're not going to be able to reply to me immediately.

With these GPTs it helps to get it "in the mood" for your topic by preloading keywords and shifting the topic over and deeper so your desired topic is clearer to the attention mechanism.
