Formal prompt engineering certification?

Lol. Lmao even

Calling them 'prompt engineers' has to be a real kick in the nuts to actual engineers.

You can work much faster with AIs than is shown on wall clock time.

Just make sure that you’re working with 9 LLMs at once and you can get that 9 years experience in just one year.

Guess who wrote that job description

The word "relevant" suggests that the only people who can possibly meet those qualifications are the authors of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_Is_All_You_Need, which was published just about 9 years ago

I've got like 30 years experience with AI if you include street fighter 2 turbo edition single player mode

It says overall experience. Just say you worked two simultaneous AI jobs for the last five years and you're good!

Yeah, that kinda crap has been around for forever, I know I ran into these same types of HR written BS requirements back in the 2000 when I was searching for jobs and .NET and Java was the latest hotness, been out for just a few years and was running into job postings requesting 5 - 10 years of experience.

8 or 9 years is about right for when modern LLMs started. Do people really think LLMs just sprang into existence a few years ago with giant corporations pushing them?

The tech is decades old depending on how you look at it, and even under a rather strict definition it's pushing at least a decade.

To be fair to qualify for all of that unless your a researcher on transformer models or something I really doubt your going to find anyone that fits all those points for that length of time.

As a mobile dev, I remember seeing jobs early on that would have years of experience required that predated android/ios.

Good thing I've used ELIZA my whole life.

Machine learning/LLM actually was around 10 years ago, it just didn't have the farcical "AI" moniker.

I was a PM and wrote specs, that's prompt engineering.

That's more experience than Big Balls had to go through everyone's shit.

We could go pretty far back depending on how you define it. We had less useful items that still could qualify in the same category as a modern LLM 7-8 years ago which gets us close... You could potentially stretch the definition to something like Megahal which is pushing pretty close to 30 years old.

There were technically ais back then. They just didn't do much and just spout nonsense sentences
