Non-expert prompting is not prompt engineering but a form of linguistic engineering wherein semantics mediates human intent  with machine interpretation. Results clearly highlighted the value of using natural language in simple  but structured and strategic ways  to generate desired outcomes. Based on the principles of clarity, modularity, and task-specificity,  this semantic scaffolding produces more reliable and interpretable results when used alongside different models.
