Meredith Ringel Morris argues that prompting is a poor user interface for generative AI, suggesting it should be phased out to improve user interactions with AI systems.
Prompt engineering, once celebrated for improving results from LLMs, reveals significant limitations as variations that seem minor can lead to drastically different outputs, highlighting its artificial nature.
The rapid development of prompt engineering as a discipline reflects a need for better communication with AI, yet it raises questions about accessibility for non-experts and the relevance of prompts as interfaces.
In her analysis, Morris emphasizes that effective interaction should not depend on a user mastering a particular way to phrase prompts, suggesting that a natural language interface is warranted.
