When users of generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots have to ask something multiple times, in different ways, to get the answer they wanted, prompt engineering can help. The field of prompt engineering spiked with the rise of GenAI chatbots to make AI technology and tools more effective for both developers and users. Here, we look at some of the top certifications for prompt engineering.

“Remarkably, food production doubled under the agrivoltaic system. And because water evaporation from the plants cooled the panels, the solar system itself generated 3% more electricity during the summer, showing how both food and solar production can perform better when done in collaboration”.

I'm being asked why I think #Google is pulling the standard "Undo" function out many Chrome text input right-click context menus, and replacing that menu selection (without any advance warning or explanation) with their AI-based "Help me write".

I don't know, but I can guess. I suspect it was something like this at a team meeting:

"Hey, word is that we really need to up the AI engagement metrics. What haven't we covered yet? [ laughter ]"

"Well, we could get rid of context menus Undo and replace it with an AI selection. Then when users right-click during text input, they'll get the "Help me write" prompt where they've pretty much always expected undo to be."

"I like that. It'll be right in their faces. Do you think there will be any blowback from people not finding Undo in those context menus anymore?"

"Naw, pretty much everyone knows the keyboard shortcut for undo is Control-Z. They can just use the shortcut. Only a fool wouldn't know that. And we don't care about fools!"

"Absolutely. OK, I'm in. Should there be any kind of warning or explanation for this?"

"No way -- let it be a surprise to the users! More impact!"

"Wow, I can feel those AI engagement metrics going up already!"

"Great work, team! All AI, all the time!"

Another dam that was considered, but never built, would have been at Twin Springs, about 20 miles north and east of Arrowrock. What was notable about the project was not the dam itself, but how it was planned to be built: As part of the U.S. Army’s Project Travois, which was intended to demonstrate how nuclear devices could be used in public works construction projects, the dam was proposed to be constructed through nuclear explosions.
