From "what even is this" to using it properly
10 short guides that explain the ideas behind the playbooks. No jargon, no code, nothing that assumes you have done this before.
What AI actually does, in plain words
No maths, no jargon, no predictions about the future. Just what these tools are doing when you type into them, and what that means for the work you hand them.
