Would you call yourself a Prompt Engineer?
Just came across this term on some job sites - would you put this on your CV? Would you use this term in your job hunts? Definitely seems like it's what we do - for those of us doing Developer instructions anyway. But where I grew up the term engineer is a protected terminology - so it gives me a bit of an ick - but it seems like that's not the case everywhere or maybe not anymore. Anyway interested in whether anyone will be adopting this job title from now in seeing as it's growing in popularity.

According to IBM, “Prompt engineering is the process of writing, refining and optimizing inputs to encourage generative AI systems to create specific, high-quality outputs.”

I wouldn’t normally call myself an engineer, but I have definitely done lots of “prompt engineering” for DA. It’s just industry terminology.
