About the Book
Instead of jargon, it uses the metaphor of a “very weird, very capable intern” who has read everything, never lived anything, and needs you to manage it well.
You’ll learn:
* Why your AI sounds smart but can still be confidently wrong.
* How it really works under the hood (the “next word game”) without any math or technical background.
* Why it sometimes “hallucinates” and makes stuff up, and how to spot it.
* How to give better prompts, add structure, and talk to it like an intern so your results stop being generic and start being actually useful.
Each chapter is bite-sized, designed to be read on a commute or in between tasks, and packed with anime-style moments that compare AI to overpowered, slightly unhinged characters dropped into the real world.
If you’ve ever thought, “Wait, how did it do that?” or trusted an AI answer a little too quickly, this pocket book is your manual. It won’t teach you to code—but it will teach you how to think about AI so you can use it safely, effectively, and with a healthy amount of side-eye.
Is your AI magical intern actually just guessing really fast? By the end, you’ll know, and you’ll be the one holding the controller.
