No more idiotic than a lawyer - someone who knows the right words to convince a jury (model) to produce a desired outcome.
I dislike that analogy greatly. Lawyers have a bad reputation, sure, but there’s a lot of education about the interpretation of our law and the absurdly large corpus of legal documentation that must be read in order to even become a lawyer is far and above anything you describe.
Weird how ChatGPT popped up as a newly hyped Next Big Thing just as crypto crashed. Probably not worth thinking about.
The connection is purely superficial, LLMs and cryptocurrency are two completely different technologies, hype is always going to exist with every popular technology, we need to be able to look at something and evaluate it on its own merit rather than as a function of how popular it is.
We will see.
I just can't believe how idiotic such a thing is. It's like calling a person who uses a toaster a Toast Engineer with a salary of 300k.
It's just software. It takes skill and labor to achieve the outputs you want. Is someone who uses photoshop all day not an artist? Or someone who writes text for a compiler not a programmer? You've got a huge blind spot if you think prompt engineer isn't already a thing.
It may be a "thing", because generating BS is a viable business model and ChatGPT makes it more efficient.
..but I submit as a working hypothesis, that it is completely impossible to gain knowledge you do not already possess from a language model, no matter how clever your prompting.
I'm very interested in counter-examples, but I have seen a few that turn out to be fake already.

> just as crypto crashed Did crypto crash? Last I looked BTC was at 20K USD a pop ... strange definition of a crash for something that used to trade below a dollar.
Crypto boomed, had billions sunk into it and has had multiple high profile implosions. Yes it has absolutely crashed.
Same thing it's been doing every year since 2011.
Yet BTC is still trading at 20k USD ... I'm not sure we have the same definition of the word "crash".
But whatever floats your boat, man.
