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.
