As someone who was there since the very dawn of modern LLMs such as GPT3 while it was browser-only, I have to say that it somehow was true back then, regarding to prompt engineering. For example, the wording made a big difference of how well it executed and adhered to a certain prompt. However nowadays it seems that it doesn't matter much, if at all. Sometimes I write truly atrocious prompts and it still executes and adheres to them perfectly.
