Maybe until we all have a local LLM's and custom models with full control, this level of abstraction(prompting) is not useful.
I refuse to contribute to the"Open"AI scheme. Let marketing and teens to give them data.:)
Disagree with your fears about “give them data”.
Here’s their data policy: https://openai.com/policies/api-data-usage-policies
Literally states it won’t use your data. Ofc there’s non trivial risk that this policy will change over time. Still, I don’t feel like there’s any huge lock-in risk with OpenAI right now, so advantage of using it outweighs the risk for most.
