The best presenter I have ever listened to. Kudos! Perfect and purposeful use of tone, voice, and body language. Effective delivery. I learned more about presentation skills from this VDO than about prompt engineering lol. The team also did very well with filming, editing and directing. Well done!
One of the best and most informative videos about Prompt Engineering. The presenter is extremely clear and simple to understand, his passion for AI is very prominent through his speech. Good Job

What an amazingly crafted learning video, this man has become my most favourite teacher (who has actually added to my skills). although i knew most of the concepts already , | "This lecture enhanced those skills like and Upgrade"... These 30 minutes are gonna help me out many times in the future . A Big Thanks to you. |
I am against using the word engineering in “prompt engineering”. I understand that coding is undergoing significant changes with the introduction of LLMs such as GPT, however, in my opinion we need to be more precise in choosing words that match the actual task being done by the software developer. Engineering design has a very precise meaning and it incorporates a lot of stages starting from setting quantitative measurable specifications, proposing multiple design alternatives, evaluating them against the specifications, iterative analysis and design usually involving mathematics and physics, selecting a design after examining trade offs among conflicting metrics, implementing the selected design, evaluating the implementation on different platforms (if feasible), module testing, integration testing, and more. Those engineering design stages constitute a cycle that can be revisited with each iteration including even the specifications stage which can be modified if necessary, but with caution and after agreement with the project stakeholders. In that context, software engineering for example might not satisfy all the above while being considered engineering nevertheless, but with some reservation in my opinion. However, prompt engineering barely includes a very small fraction of engineering design stages, and thus in my opinion should be given another name.
"Shot" is synonymous w/ "example." 0-shot prompts provide no examples for the LLM. Non-zero shot prompts are a basic method to fine-tune LLM output, getting less generalized results.
Good question . In my case I start with a general prompt that involves at least three values. From the output I get I refine my prompts until the output satisfies what I am looking for even when I start off unsure. Hopes this helps.
my understanding of plagiarism is carbon copy of the exact combination of a collection of words from a publication made by an author. and what chatGPT capable of doing is to re-orienting the placement of the words. It directly challenges the very meaning of plagiarism as we know. it’s interesting to reflect on the fact how we define plagiarism, perhaps we have to move it’s goalpost in a post AI era 🤔 … or maybe it becomes the a concept of the past

Crystal clear presentation. Good job!
This guy is a great presenter
Loved this presentation!❤
Hi Yufeng, Many Thanks for the presentation.Well done.
I love his voice…❤ Thanks for your presentation!
Seems like an AI

I agree I am also against data "scientists" term in data science.
I always refer to it as prompt writing instead. It's not a job for a coder, but for a skilled writer.
Engineering is meant to solve problems with technology, since prompt engineering do it, it’s ok to say engineering
"Prompt pooping"
I agree 100%
Super'o'Super presentation and explanation and emphasis - Thanks Gentleman...
Thank you for your teaching ☺️
thanks for this type of knowledge pls update us with type of videos in future

Excellent teacher.
i love this this video but why are you crouching? the furniture looks small
I created a prompt for a tiny chair
I created the prompt for the table to the left.

Good i description & details on how LLlM can be.. Thank You...
Thanks for sharing!
Great job!

amazing 🎉 thanks buddy
Good
Thank you
"Shot" is synonymous w/ "example." 0-shot prompts provide no examples for the LLM. Non-zero shot prompts are a basic method to fine-tune LLM output, getting less generalized results.
What do you do when you don't know what the output should be? How will you use critical reasoning to evaluate the output then?
Good question . In my case I start with a general prompt that involves at least three values. From the output I get I refine my prompts until the output satisfies what I am looking for even when I start off unsure. Hopes this helps.
Thank!
Can Gemini and ChatGPT help in writing research paper which can minimise Palagrism?
I did exactly that
my understanding of plagiarism is carbon copy of the exact combination of a collection of words from a publication made by an author. and what chatGPT capable of doing is to re-orienting the placement of the words. It directly challenges the very meaning of plagiarism as we know. it’s interesting to reflect on the fact how we define plagiarism, perhaps we have to move it’s goalpost in a post AI era 🤔 … or maybe it becomes the a concept of the past
you're only cheating yourself
There is some glitch in the Google map can you guys fix that?
Your prompt did not include sufficient detail and requires multimodal approach.

Prompting Engineering is very offensive to the what is engineering.
Absolutely, it's an abuse to proper engineering sector
That’s probably because you don’t understand prompt engineering.
@@AmalRafeeq check my bio. I am an AI engineer
The important boring theory explained in a boring way. I gave a like anyway
I suspect you learned this long ago. The video is great for most people who haven't.
Hallucinations ? Really ? God all mighty...
bro talkin about biases when gemini ai itself is extremely biased due to the woke data fed to it by its devs
what does woke mean? i just woke up this morning.
