That second prompt is interesting. Not magic though. I tried it with every other model I know and they're still basically unable to do:

* give me three sentences that end in "is"

* tell me the line of Star Spangled Banner that comes before "gave proof through the night"

But they did some good thinking before failing at it…



> Not magic though

It's just a pile on of trial and error instructions (maybe learned from previous 'projects', but). There is no magic or skill to prompt 'engineering' anywhere.


Skill is just learning from trial and error.
