The emergence of generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT has created a brand new profession, whose function is to "train" these systems and improve their responses, without the need for a degree in the field.

Artificial intelligence continues to shake up the world of technology, this time by creating new professions. Among them is the role of a prompt engineer or "AI trainer". The main mission is to improve existing AI models, particularly those that generate text like ChatGPT or GPT-4, and to propose iterations or alternative suggestions that will help users find exactly what they are looking for. Basically, these engineers aim to make AIs more accurate and relevant in their responses. And guess what? You don't need a degree in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics to do it. Attractive salaries are part of the package. Salaries can vary considerably depending on experience and skills.The salary for AI engineers can start at around €45,500 per year. However, for expert "trainers," salaries can go up to €200,000 to €300,000 per year (between €227,800 and €341,700). It all depends on your negotiation skills. For example, the AI lab Anthropic offers between $175,000 and $335,000 per year for this position, as revealed by the American agency Bloomberg. Applications are open to everyone, without the need for any specific degree in the field. Is this a job of uncertain future? Despite the hype surrounding it, the future remains uncertain.

Les outils de génération de texte connaissant des progrès fulgurants, ils pourraient finir par rendre cette fonction complètement obsolète. Mais pour le moment, les "dresseurs d’IA" restent très demandés dans le domaine de la tech. « Je soupçonne fortement que la "prompt ingénierie" ne sera pas une activité importante sur le long terme et que "dresseur d’IA" n’est pas un métier d’avenir », assure Ethan Mollick, professeur de l’université de Pennsylvanie.
