Writers Are Becoming ‘AI Prompt Engineers,’ a Job Which May or May Not Exist

Many freelancers are considering changing careers to become ChatGPT "whisperers". But is it a legitimate job or just another short-lived gold rush?

A Reddit user recounted his experience in a post on the platform, explaining that due to ChatGPT he lost his most important customer, thus having to change jobs and become a driver for Doordash. The post quickly went viral, making the rounds of Twitter and sending all those who work in the field of online writing into a panic.

Within the freelance environment, various professionals have begun to reinvent themselves, thus presenting themselves as "prompt engineers". This new term essentially indicates those who specialize in creating written "requests" for AI services, using the ideal terminology to obtain the most accurate result possible to the client's idea.
