*What AI engineers think they do:* ✍️ Design a clear prompt for the LLM. 🔗 Connect the LLM to the frontend. 🛋️ Sit back while the LLM does its magic. *What AI engineers actually do:* ✏️ Change the prompt because, for some reason, the LLM is giving you the recipe to create pancakes 🥞 ⚖️ Turn down the content filtering because the LLM is acting more prudent than the Pope ✝️ 📏 Ask the LLM to be more concise because you don’t want to read a 2-page monologue 📜 🔄 Deploy a second LLM because you’ve already reached the token limit (was the token limit always that low? 🤔) 🔠 Put the most important rules in UPPERCASE so the LLM knows you’re being serious 😤 🚀 Bump up the API version (because you heard the newest API is much better 🔥) 🔒 Add more rules to the prompt because god forbid you get prompt hacked 👀 🔄 Go back to the original prompt because now your LLM is confused. 😀😅😂
