3 hours ago
- LLMs make everyone a generalist by enabling tasks like writing CSS without deep expertise.
- Domain expertise is the most critical skill for effective prompting, not generic prompting techniques.
- Terence Tao's conversation with ChatGPT shows expert prompting: short messages, concise outputs, pushback, and self-directed leaps.
- Domain knowledge allows users to steer LLMs toward better solutions by identifying relevant ideas and questioning outputs.
- Human expertise remains valuable because communicating the desired solution is a bottleneck, even with strong models.
