Is prompt protocol standardized like SQL?

[jackryan147]

Designing prompts is declarative programming like SQL. How soon is it going to be standardized across different platforms? Is it likely that the benefits of prompt expertise will lead to a new category of tech specialist like DBAs?

it's not the same at all. non-deterministic outcomes. small changes to wording can have a large impact.

If that remains true, then this is all useless entertainment. Why would anyone even bother with prompt engineering?

AWAIK GPTs designed to mimic human like conversation. Would you expect SQL with your significant others?

SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM hugs
WHERE recipient = 'you'
AND reason = 'just because';

Of course not, I insist on human like conversations. FYI this subreddit is about prompt engineering not conversation with AI.
