Prompt Engineering 2.0 explained through a Tall Tale

Research

**Prompt Engineering 2.0 (PE 2.0) is the strategic discipline required to overcome "AI Slop"—the high volume of low-quality, generic content resulting from vague, unstructured inputs (Prompt Engineering 1.0). Slop is characterized by its banality, structural incoherence, and repetitive nature, a direct result of the AI defaulting to the statistical "average" of its training data. PE 2.0 transforms the input from a simple question into a Dynamic Protocol that programs the language model’s latent space, forcing the output to achieve high fidelity and specificity.

Central to this disciplined approach are structured frameworks, which act as cognitive checklists to c...
