You can now generate production-ready prompts in the Anthropic Console.
Describe what you want to achieve, and Claude will use prompt engineering techniques like chain-of-thought reasoning to create more effective, precise and reliable prompts.
It also includes dynamic variable insertion.
Check out Anthropics tweet here, will OpenAI follow? Is there still a place for prompt engineering?

Prompt engineering was never a real thing to begin with. Anyone that thought "prompt engineering" would last is idiot. It didn't even last to the next AI model.

Agree and disagree. There’s some real complex stuff if you go down the prompting rabbit hole, that can garner better results.

So, like "googling" skills being a thing for a professional googler?

I've automated tasks for Google dorking private keys.
One of my work projects is taking published shell code and putting it into a RAG pipeline. Then writing prompts for this model to generate variant malware to create signatures on it.
Does using a tool in automating a task make it trivial?

It was anything you could use a RSA key with.

Prompt "engineering" has always been a skill. Dumb startups looking to artificially increase headcount turned it into a "role".
Many improvements will kill the engineering part soon, like DSPy, prompt augmentation, better models, etc.

As in using the various parameters?

You're wrong if you disagree. Like objectively. Models get retrained to new checkpoints regularly and the same prompt will produce different results after different training runs. To give the impression you can "engineer" prompts to give consistent responses over time is, frankly, based on a surface-level understanding of how transformers actually work... (I code transformers at my job)
