Background

The Prompt Report: A Systematic Survey of Prompting Techniques (June 2024), claimed the following:

We present a detailed vocabulary of 33 vocabulary terms, a taxonomy of 58 LLM prompting techniques, and 40 techniques for other modalities. Additionally, we provide best practices and guidelines for prompt engineering, including advice for prompting engineering ChatGPT and other state-of-the-art (SOTA) LLMs. We further present a meta-analysis of the entire literature on natural language prefix-prompting. As a culmination of these efforts, this paper presents the most comprehensive survey on prompt engineering to date.

Motivation

That paper overlooked the most powerful way to manufacture consent from…
