In this segment of the MSP Dumpster Fire Season 1 Episode 6, the hosts discuss the emerging role of a "prompt engineer." They describe it as both a skill and a potential full‑time job, emphasizing that it involves crafting and structuring textual inputs that generative AI systems can interpret. The conversation highlights that prompt engineering is not limited to chat‑based models like ChatGPT but extends to generative tools for video, audio, image, and text creation. The hosts stress the importance of unpacking what a prompt engineer does, positioning it as a capability that many people should develop.

So let's get into a couple of these jobs. They get kind of interesting. Do you want to take the first one there?
The first one is not only just a job, but it's arguably a skill. And it's not even an argument. It is a skill that someone can possess and probably most people should possess. It can actually even be a full-time job, and that is prompt engineer. Now, I know a lot of people probably have already heard this. But it's important that we unpack this right from the beginning. So what the heck is a prompt engineer? And these are just people who are skilled at structuring text that can be interpreted by generative AI. This just isn't ChatGPT, but it's even some of the tools, the gen AI tools around video production, audio production, images, and of course also text, right?
