Exactly. I made a game testing prompting skills a few days earlier, to share with some close friends, and it was your comment that inspired me to translate the game into English and submitted to HN. ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41545541 )
I am really curious about how other people write prompts, so while my submission only got 7 points, I'm happy that I can see hundreds of people's own ways to write prompts thanks to HN.
However, after reading most prompts (I may missed some), I found exactly 0 prompts containing any kind of common prompting techniques, such as "think step by step", explaining specific steps to solve the problem instead of only asking for final results, few-shots (showing example inputs and outputs). Half of the prompts are simply asking AI to do the thing (at least asking correctly). The other half do not make sense, even if we show the prompt to a real human, they won't know what to reply with.
Well... I expected that SOME complaints about AI online are from people not familiar with prompting / not good at prompting. But now I realized there are a lot more people than I thought not knowing some basic prompting techniques.
Anyway, a fun experience for me! Since it was your comment made me want to do this, I just want to share it with you.
