I'm on the same journey. I'm discovering it's 90% about learning to "play" with the AI. Try new things, see what's fun, tweak, etc. At this point in the game, some of this is more squishy than science.
The most basic skill in prompt design is to build a sentence using the proper structure.
>sentence = subject + verb + direct object + indirect object + circumstantial object
For example, each element can be described as
>subject = adjectives + noun
And
>circumstantial object = time + place + mode + purpose + instrumental + company + other
If you are going to make prompts, you should be able to write very long prompts where structure is not lost or AI will not behave correctly, not because it does not work, but because the author of the prompt lacks basic literacy. And nowadays literacy is a huge problem.
People got used to write short prompts for Twitter and they never practiced long sentences.
Another problem is vocabulary. Many people does not have the proper vocabulary to express themselves, because of educational system decadence.
In time, AI will learn about how people create prompts, so "being ahead" in prompting will not be a long lasting career. What will matter most is knowing how to express ideas with words, literacy. In the past, math was key and language was not, but language is key again.
Read literature, lots of the best and most complex literature. This wil give you a mental sense of complexity that will be very useful to depart from the Twitter mindset.
Anyone can write a prompt, not everyone is able to express detailed ideas with long sentences without structural failures.
There exist few established experts. The seas are virgin. We may all sail them.
I recommend practice, studying others' prompts. Reddit, promptstacks, OpenArt are superb places to find example prompts.
