proompt

== English == === Etymology === An alteration of prompt, possibly on the pattern of coom, influenced by the 4chan -oomer suffix for forming Wojak names and derogatory agent nouns. In modern usage, the misspelling is deliberate, but accidental errors can be found much before the widespread adoption of AI. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /pɹuːmpt/ === Noun === proompt (plural proompts) (humorous, machine learning) A prompt. === Verb === proompt (third-person singular simple present proompts, present participle proompting, simple past and past participle proompted) (transitive) (humorous, machine learning) To prompt; to write a prompt for an AI model. === Usage notes === Used humorously to refer to the perceived ease of use of modern AI models and to make light of prompt engineering. Can also take a derogatory character, in which case it is often used to scorn hubristic or haughty users of such technologies. === Related terms === proompter === References === === Further reading === “proompt”, in Urban Dictionary, launched 1999.
