It's a little premature, fine, but I want to start liquidating my rhetorical swaps here: I've been saying since last summer (sometimes on HN, sometimes elsewhere) that "prompt engineering" is BS and that in a world where AI gets better and better, expecting to develop lasting competency in an area of AI-adjacent performance (a.k.a. telling an AI what to do in exactly the right way to get the right result) is akin to…

Been doing a lot with prompts lately. What people are calling "prompt engineering" I'd call "knowing what to even ask for and also asking for it in a clear manner". That was a valuable skill before computers and will continue to be one as AI progresses.

I've been pretty disappointed to introduce ChatGPT to people in jobs where it would be a game changer and they just don't know what to do with it. They ask it for not-useful things or useful things in a non-productive way. "here is some ad copy I wrote, write it better". Whether you're instructing a human, chatgpt, or AI god... that's just too vague of instructions.

If Asimov had robopsychologists in his stories, why can't we in real life? Who wants to be the first Susan Calvin?

I think that "prompt engineering" stuff went away when ChatGPT came out.

Has it? I mean, maybe the idea of people doing this as a long-time career has, but practically, I still find it a challenge to get those AIs to do exactly what I want. I've played around with Dreambooth-style extensions now, and that goes some way for some applications, and I'm excited to try OP's solution, but in my experience, it is still a bit of a limitation for working with those AIs right now.

Does anyone know if there is something like Google Cloud for GPUs but with an easy way to suspend the VM or container when not in use? Maybe I am just looking for container hosting with GPUs. I am just trying to avoid some of the basic VM admin stuff like creating, starting, stopping for SaaS if someone already has a way to do. Maybe this is something like what Elastic Beanstalk does.

Can it make it pop? Because that was the #1 request I remember dealing with.

#1 request of what, for what, requested by whom?

That is a common request when working with clients. They have a hard time describing what they want so end up asking to “make it pop”

>11GB VRAM Aaarrrgghh let me know when it's down to 4GB like Stable Diffusion The prompt-based masking sounds incredible, with either pixel +/- or Prompt Relevance +/- VERY impressive img2img capabilities!

You can get a used 2080Ti for under $300 on eBay

Many thanks to the OP, can't wait to try this out! I have a question I'm hoping to slide in here: I remember there were also solutions for doing things like "take this character and now make it do various things". Does anyone remember what the general term for that was, and some solutions (pretty sure I've seen this on here, apparently forgot to bookmark).

PS: I'm not trying to make a comic book, I'm trying to help a friend solve a far more basic business problem (trying to get clients to pay their bills on time).
