Introduction
What is Prompt Engineering? What is it Not?
Prompt engineering refers to the process of optimizing commands
(prompts) given to systems such as artificial intelligence (AI) and large
language models (LLMs) to achieve desired results. This process does not
solely rely on technical knowledge; it also requires creative thinking and
a strategic approach. Prompt engineering involves constructing the correct
commands to ensure the most efficient use of language models. For
example, when working with AI-based systems like ChatGPT, the
structure of the prompts is crucial for obtaining the intended outputs.
What is Prompt Engineering?
Prompt engineering is a discipline that encompasses optimizing the
prompts provided by users to effectively interact with AI. This process
includes asking the right questions, providing clear instructions, and
interpreting the outputs generated by the AI while offering feedback.
Optimization: The goal of prompt engineering is to design the
most suitable commands to fully leverage the system’s
capabilities. In this process, users must clearly and accurately
express what they expect from the AI.
Strategy and Creativity: Prompt engineering is not just a
technical process; it also requires strategic thinking and creative
problem-solving skills. Knowing which questions to ask and how
to structure them is critical for obtaining the best results from AI
systems.
Ethical Responsibilities: Prompt engineering focuses not only on
the quality of the outputs but also on ensuring that these outputs
adhere to ethical standards. When providing guidance using AI, it
is important to consider whether the content produced may have
harmful societal impacts.
10
What Prompt Engineering is Not
Prompt engineering should not be confused with fields like computer
science, software engineering, or AI engineering. While it may often be
mistaken for general technical skills related to AI, prompt engineering has
distinct boundaries that must be clearly understood.
It’s Not Coding or Programming: Prompt engineering does not
directly involve coding or software development. It should not be
confused with the technical skills used by software engineers, data
scientists, or AI engineers. While prompt engineering can be part
of the software development process, it does not include writing
code itself.
It’s More Than Simple Commands: Prompt engineering is not
merely about issuing short, simple commands to AI systems. It
involves understanding the internal dynamics of the system and
knowing how to construct more complex, multi-step commands.
The quality of the responses generated by AI is directly related to
the structure and depth of the questions posed by the user.
It’s Not the Only Method to Guide AI: Prompt engineering is
one way of interacting with AI, but it is not the only method.
Various algorithmic and data-driven approaches are available for
operating AI applications. Therefore, prompt engineering
represents just one dimension of working with AI.
To conclude; Prompt engineering is a skill set necessary to maximize the
potential of AI systems. However, this field should not be limited to
technical knowledge; creative thinking, strategic planning, and ethical
awareness are also fundamental elements that nourish this discipline. In
this context, effective work with AI involves not only what you ask but
also how you ask it.
Prompt Engineering: Historical Background
11
Prompt engineering is a discipline aimed at structuring instructions given
to AI effectively to achieve desired results. This field emerged with the
development of artificial intelligence and natural language processing
(NLP) technologies and has its roots in the AI research that began in the
second half of the 20th century. Early AI research aimed to enable
machines to understand human language, and rule-based systems were
primarily used in this process.¹
In the 1960s and 1970s, as AI research gained momentum, the first efforts
to understand human language also became significant. Systems like Eliza
and SHRDLU from this period provided the initial examples of how
language could be used in human-machine interactions.² These systems
can be considered primitive versions of today’s AI models and laid the
groundwork for the concept of language-based prompts.
Since the 1980s, advancements in computer hardware and the
development of more complex algorithms have significantly improved the
performance of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Alongside these
advancements, the need for more effective communication with AI models
through language has increased, driven by the broader applications of
natural language processing (NLP) techniques.⁴
In this context, the concept of prompt engineering became more defined,
especially with the widespread adoption of deep learning models and
neural networks in the 2010s. The formulation of prompts for AI systems
has become a critical factor influencing the success of these models.
The development of BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from
Transformers) by Google in 2018 marked a turning point in natural
language processing. This model played a significant role in
demonstrating how deep learning techniques could be used to provide
guiding commands to AI. Subsequently, the release of GPT-3 by OpenAI
in 2020 represented a revolutionary advancement in the field of language
12
processing. Models like GPT-3 have further highlighted the effectiveness
of prompt engineering, showing that language-based prompts can greatly
impact model performance.
Throughout this period, prompt engineering has increasingly been
recognized as an academic discipline and a fundamental component in
efforts to enhance the efficiency of AI applications. Recent research has
focused on developing new methods for utilizing AI models more
effectively across various disciplines.
Is Prompt Engineering a Profession or a Skill?
The question of whether prompt engineering is a profession or a skill is a
topic that requires thorough examination from both theoretical and
practical perspectives. This debate has become increasingly significant
with the rapid advancement of technologies such as artificial intelligence
(AI) and large language models (LLMs). Several factors shape the answer
to this question, including the level of specialized knowledge required,
ethical responsibilities, societal impacts, and standard educational
processes. Existing literature and expert opinions focus on whether prompt
engineering meets these criteria.
Prompt Engineering as a Profession
To be considered a profession, a field typically needs to meet several
fundamental criteria: specialized knowledge, extensive training processes,
ethical responsibilities, and societal contributions. This topic has been
extensively discussed by scholars such as Işın et al., who suggest that
prompt engineering is approaching these criteria. For instance, prompt
engineering requires a deep and specialized knowledge base to optimize
the performance of AI systems, particularly large language models. This
expertise encompasses not only understanding how language models
function but also involves crafting prompts that are accurate, ethical, and
creatively structured.
13
For a profession to exist, technical knowledge alone is not sufficient;
practitioners must also adhere to certain ethical standards and fulfill
societal responsibilities. Considering the impact of AI systems on society,
prompt engineering has started to assume these responsibilities. For
example, ethical issues may arise from improper use of AI, such as the
dissemination of misinformation, reinforcement of biases, or incitement of
hate speech.
Furthermore, for a profession to be recognized at the societal level, there
must be formal certification of the competencies of those working in the
field. Although prompt engineering has not yet been fully recognized as a
profession on an international scale, it is making progress in that direction.
Many companies are formally hiring prompt engineers, while others are
conducting internal training to develop these skills within their teams. This
situation indicates that while the profession is not yet fully
institutionalized, significant steps are being taken towards achieving this
goal.
Prompt Engineering as a Skill
On the other hand, there are arguments suggesting that prompt engineering
should be considered a skill rather than a profession. The literature on this
field is quite limited, and prompt engineering has not yet achieved
professional status. Additionally, prompt engineering can be viewed as a
skill applied within professions such as software development, data
science, or AI engineering. However, the current perspective often
considers prompt engineering more as a skill applicable within these
engineering disciplines rather than being a part of them. For instance, a
software engineer may learn prompt engineering skills to work more
effectively with AI and integrate these skills into their projects.
For a skill to transition into a profession, it must undergo a specific
journey. As noted in Tapper and Millett’s work on professionalization, for
a skill to become a profession, it requires a structured training process and
14
adherence to specific ethical standards by practitioners. At present, prompt
engineering is generally regarded as a skill that can be part of many
professions.
In conclusion, while prompt engineering is currently considered more of a
skill, it has the potential to evolve into an independent profession in
parallel with the advancement of AI technologies. For this to happen, the
establishment of standardized training programs, ethical guidelines, and
certification processes is necessary. Additionally, recognizing this skill as
a profession with societal and ethical responsibilities is crucial for
managing the impact of AI on society effectively.
Is Prompt Engineering the Profession of the Future? The Future of
the Profession?
In a world where artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving, an
important question arises: will prompt engineering become a profession of
the future, or will it remain a component within the evolution of existing
professions? To understand the potential of prompt engineering, we need
to examine several key elements: the evolution of professions, the
changing nature of technology, and how AI interactions are shaping
professional life.

On the other hand, prompt engineering can also be seen as an evolutionary
extension of existing professions rather than a standalone profession.
Other professions related to artificial intelligence (AI), such as software
engineering or data science, can integrate prompt engineering skills into
their practices. In this sense, prompt engineering may continue to exist as
a skill parallel to the development of these professions. For example,
software developers and data scientists will need to create and optimize
prompts necessary for effective use of AI, which may allow prompt
engineering to evolve as part of these fields rather than as an entirely
independent profession.
Moreover, given that the field of prompt engineering has not yet fully
professionalized, and that standardized training programs and certification
processes are still being developed, prompt engineering may remain as a
component of existing professions. Looking at the future of the profession,
prompt engineering appears as a skill applicable across various sectors
including software, marketing, law, and healthcare. Professionals in these
sectors are likely to develop prompt engineering skills to work more
effectively with AI.
In conclusion, prompt engineering has the potential to be both a profession
of the future and a component of the evolution of existing professions. As
16
AI technologies become more complex and widespread, prompt
engineering could be recognized as an independent profession. It may
become a key profession for directing AI systems, addressing ethical
issues, and producing creative solutions. Simultaneously, it could also
remain an evolutionary component of many professions. Professionals
who integrate AI with their expertise will be able to apply prompt
engineering within their own fields, thereby shaping their careers.

Getting Started with Prompt Engineering: Key Preliminary
Knowledge on Personalization Criteria in Optimizing User
Experience in AI Applications
The ability of artificial intelligence (AI) applications to personalize user
experience is based on their capability to offer a dynamic experience
tailored to the user's needs and preferences. This requires considering a
range of criteria to meet user expectations, enhance satisfaction levels, and
customize the service to the individual. The personalization capability of
AI applications is optimized through processes that collect data on user
behaviors, preferences, and interactions, and make this information
meaningful and useful. For instance, prompts can analyze a user's
expectations based on the language they use, demonstrating tendencies
towards personalization. The general criteria that AI applications can
consider for personalizing user experience include:
1. Demographic Information
Demographic information such as age, gender, geographical location, and
language plays a significant role in enabling AI to provide personalized
services to users. These details are fundamental criteria for personalized
content, product, or service recommendations. For example, an AI
application may tailor its content to address different age groups or offer
varying product/solution suggestions based on geographical location.
2.
User Behaviors and History
Data on the user’s past actions, interactions, and preferences within an
application provides critical insights for personalization. AI can analyze
the user’s past interests in specific products or services to shape future
recommendations accordingly. For instance, an e-commerce platform
might provide suggestions based on the categories the user previously
explored or the types of products they purchased.
3.
Preferences and Interests
24
Data on users' interests, likes, and preferences plays a crucial role in
personalizing the services offered by AI. Explicitly stated preferences by
the user or inferred interests based on indirect behaviors form the
foundation for tailored recommendations. For example, a media streaming
platform can offer new content suggestions based on previously viewed
content by the user.
4.
Time and Context
The time of day when users access the application or the context in which
they use it are important factors in the personalization process. AI can
adapt content or service recommendations based on temporal and
contextual factors. For instance, a travel application may provide
personalized suggestions based on the user’s holiday periods or frequent
travel times.
5.

which features users use more frequently and the type of feedback they
give enable AI to tailor the experience to the individual. Feedback creates
a feedback loop that continually improves the user experience.
7.
User's Emotional State
AI applications can develop strategies to understand users' emotional
states and provide content or services accordingly. Emotionally intelligent
25
(EQ) AI systems analyze factors such as mood, stress level, or satisfaction
to offer personalized solutions. For example, a health application might
suggest recommendations or relaxing activities based on the user's current
mood.
8.
Changes in User Behavior Over Time
How user behavior changes over time is a critical criterion for AI
applications. Shifts in user habits, emerging new needs, or different
preferences can develop over time. AI systems can track these changes to
dynamically personalize the user experience.
9.
Security and Privacy Preferences
Users' concerns about security and privacy are crucial factors to consider
in personalization processes. AI applications must address security needs
by protecting personal data and allowing users to customize privacy
settings. The extent to which users wish to share data and which
information they prefer to keep private can shape the personalization
capabilities of AI applications.
10.
Language and Cultural Factors
The language spoken by users and their cultural background are significant
criteria for personalized user experience. AI applications can enhance the
user experience by accommodating language differences and providing
solutions sensitive to cultural contexts. This is especially important for
applications serving international markets.
Conclusion
The ability of AI applications to personalize user experience can be
optimized based on the criteria mentioned above. Considering factors from
demographic information to behavioral analysis, time and context, and
security preferences ensures a more personalized, dynamic, and satisfying
26
user experience. These criteria contribute to making future AI applications
more effective, efficient, and user-friendly.
