In this article we will share the best prompt engineering books you should read to get your output more accurate from any AI like ChatGPT. After the launch of ChatGPT on November 2022, There is a rise of a totally new carrier – Prompt Engineering. You may heard it in Instagram or Facebook reel while scrolling. Using of Artificial Intelligence is increasing rapidly day-by-day. ChatGPT hit 1 million user in just only 5 days.
I am also using ChatGPT daily. Believe me it has increased my work atleast 10x. There are several popular AI like ChatGPT, Midjourney, Claude and Perplexity which generates text, image and even code
But there is a PROBLEM !
Sometime these AI bots provides misleading or inaccurate information. That’s why, here comes Prompt Engineering.

What is Prompt Engineering ?
Many people don’t know about Prompt Engineering. They have only heard about it in reels or may be by someone. I have taken a quote from Wikipedia.
Prompt engineering is the process of structuring an instruction that can be interpreted and understood by a generative AI model
Wikipedia
So Prompt Engineering is a process by which we can give a well defined instruction to an Al. It is a way to make your prompt more refined so that an AI can give more accurate output without hallucinating.
After the end of reading these books, you would have more grip on the output of AI. After mastering the foundational concepts you can unlock the endless possibilities Artificial Intelligence. Let’s start!
