Will we still be “prompt engineering” next year?

Right now, using AI still takes effort. You type something in, it gives you something weird, so you tweak the prompt, try again, change the phrasing, and hope for the best.

But with every LLM update, it feels like they’re finally starting to understand stuff like “need title for slide and description.” And honestly? Sometimes the answers I get clarify the task or problem I was trying to solve in the first place.

So it got me thinking - are we going to keep engineering prompts forever? Or is that going to eventually become easier with voice prompts and as tools get smarter?

Would love to hear how others are thinking about this.
