A Quick History Lessonโฃ
This quote is from his seminal paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence,” published in 1950, where he introduces the Turing Test as a ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐๐ง๐๐.โฃ
So, with that quote in mind, let’s go back… way back to see how everything came to be.โฃ
AI, or Artificial Intelligence, might seem like a new idea…, โฃ
but its roots trace back decades.โฃ
The ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ก๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ซ๐ง ๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐ ๐ก๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ฌ has intrigued minds since the mid-20th century.โฃ
The ๐๐๐๐๐ฌ is considered when Artificial Intelligence started.โฃ
Computer scientists like Alan Turing laid the foundation for AI.โฃ
Turing introduced the concept of a machine that can simulate any human intelligence, now known as the “Turing Test.”โฃ
McCarthy coined the term “Artificial Intelligence” and organized the famous Dartmouth Workshop,โฃ
marking the ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ญ๐ก ๐จ๐ ๐๐ research.โฃ
๐๐๐๐๐ฌ-๐๐๐๐๐ฌ: ๐๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌโฃ
During this timeframe, AI researchers focused on rule-based systems and symbolic reasoning.โฃ
Programs like ELIZA, a simple chatbot, captured attention for simulating human-like conversations.โฃ
Despite early promise, progress was slower than expected due to limited computational power.โฃ
๐๐๐๐๐ฌ-๐๐๐๐๐ฌ: ๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ฆ๐ฌโฃ
The 1980s brought an “AI Winter,” a period of decreased interest and funding for AI due to overhyped expectations.โฃ
However, AI enthusiasts didn’t give up.โฃ
Expert Systems emerged, using rule-based logic to solve specific problems.โฃ
While these systems were helpful, they fell short of achieving true human-like intelligence.โฃ
๐๐๐๐๐ฌ-๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ญ: ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐๐ซ๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ โฃ
Advancements in Machine Learning and neural networks rekindled interest in AI.โฃ
With the availability of massive data and increased computational power, โฃ
AI models improved significantly.โฃ
The concept of “Deep Learning” gained prominence, โฃ
and AI started to excel in tasks like image recognition, โฃ
natural language processing, and more.โฃ

Prompt Engineering is a relatively recent evolution in the AI landscape.โฃ
As AI models like ChatGPT gained popularity, โฃ
the importance of crafting effective prompts became evident.โฃ
Prompt Engineering involves creating instructions โฃ
and giving the instruction to AI Model to get the desired response.โฃ
The word “Prompting” comes from the idea of causing something to happen.โฃ
Prompt Engineering is about “Engineering.”โฃ
In this context, it means:โฃ
What you askโฃ
How you askโฃ
Why you askโฃ
And what you tell the AI Model to get the answer that serves your purpose.โฃ
This is probably the most important skill you need to learn in this century.โฃ
This is a skill that will make you an ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค๐๐ซ โฃ

and ๐๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ than you have ever thought possible.โฃ
AI is going to disrupt everything just like โฃ
the Automobile disrupted transportation โฃ
and how the internet disrupted communication and commerce.โฃ
As technology advances, โฃ
AI will continue to shape industries,โฃ
revolutionize how we work and live, โฃ
and Prompt Engineering will remain at the forefront of maximizing AI’s capabilities and in turn, โฃ
