Blog Alert! AI Fundamentals Come First

  • 1.  Blog Alert! AI Fundamentals Come First

    Posted 2 hours ago

    Confession time! I have been quietly stressing about AI since I agreed to present on it at a conference later this summer.

    A new model drops. A feature changes. A tool disappears. It happens that fast.

    So I made a decision. I am keeping it basic.

    Not because the new stuff doesn't matter - it does. But for a room full of beginners, the fundamentals are what will actually stick. The hype can wait. The foundations cannot.

    I wrote about it. Here is what I think every first-time AI user needs to hear before they touch a single tool:

    → Know your data before you AI it
    → Prompt like you are writing a requirements doc, not a search bar
    → Verify like your director is watching

    Oh - and I am exhausted trying to keep up with every new release. If you are too, this one is for you.
