As someone who freelances as a prompt engineer and created a popular course on the topic (we just passed 50,000 students!), many people ask me if prompt engineering will even be needed in the future when GPT-5 or GPT-6 comes ou

Some techniques I have seen in the wild

Create a semi-strict programming language like promptlang - https://github.com/ruvnet/promptlang

this style was popular back in the early days of gpt-3.5 when it landed, for some reason, it fell out of fashion

Write a super long persona mapping prompt with a well defined action space

Best example of this is the V... See more
