“提示词工程师”这一角色似乎正逐渐淡出历史舞台。为Anthropic开发Claude Code的鲍里斯·切尔尼指出,如今已无需编写冗长且格式固定的AI提示词。
The days of the "prompt engineer" seem to be fading away. Boris Cherny, who created Claude Code for Anthropic, said that there's no need for long, formulaic AI prompts anymore.
他在周二发布的X帖文中写道,随着AI模型性能不断提升,刻意优化提示词的必要性也大幅降低。切尔尼建议:“与Claude交流时,就像和同事交谈一样。
As models have gotten better, the need to perfect your prompt has diminished, he wrote in a Tuesday X post. "Talk to Claude the way you would a coworker," Cherny wrote.
提示技巧并无什么秘诀可言,对大多数任务而言也无需过度设定框架或规定步骤。”
"There's no secret to prompting. There's no need to be overly scaffolded or prescriptive for most tasks."
曾几何时,AI用户们热衷于分享各类专用提示句式以引导AI完成特定任务。
Not long ago, AI users were passing around their favorite added clauses and sentences to get an AI chatbot to do their bidding.
当时Anthropic的Claude模型还流传着一句经典提示语:“千万别出错。”如今切尔尼则推荐用户只需遵循三个基本要点即可。
他还分享了自己常用的一个提示示例:语气轻松随意,先是称赞某期播客“实在精彩绝伦”,随后要求Claude据此生成可视化作品。
Anthropic's Claude was memed with a common prompting line: "Make no mistakes." Now, Cherny said that users should prompt the model with three basic things: Cherny also shared one of his prompts. It was casual, calling a podcast episode "really amazing" and asking Claude to build an artifact based on it.
他特意叮嘱Claude要“充分利用可用标记量”,还要制作出超越《纽约客》或《纽约时报》水准的可视化内容。其中一句提示语引发了争议:“或许可以加入水彩风格。”有X用户指出切尔尼的表述不够明确——到底要不要水彩效果?
Claude should "use lots of tokens" and make the visuals better than a New Yorker or New York Times data visualization, he wrote. One line of his prompt was controversial: "Maybe add watercolor." An X user responded that Cherny should be definitive; either he wants the watercolor, or he doesn't.
对此切尔尼回应称,Anthropic最新发布的Opus 5.5模型审美水准卓越,“我完全信赖它的创作能力”。
Cherny responded that Opus 5.5, Anthropic's latest model, has good taste. "I trust it to cook," he wrote.
随后他展示了该模型产出的成果:果然生成了多幅以米色与橙色为主调的水彩风格图像。
He also shared the artifact it created. Indeed, Claude made several watercolor-like graphics in beiges and oranges.
