"large-scale public libraries of prompts"

    What I would really like to see is large-scale public libraries of prompts, written by known experts and tested carefully for different audiences. These prompts would be freely available to anyone who wants to use them, and they could turn LLMs into innovation machines, learning tools, or digital mentors for millions of people. And robust discussions around these prompts could help adjudicate ethical uses, even as the crowd of users could offer reviews and suggestions for improvements. We have seen similar efforts around other technologies, like open source software, and it would make sense to see a grassroots prompting effort here as well.
