AI Guide To AI

As a journalist, I witnessed the sudden emergence of ChatGPT in late 2022. It was a watershed moment—suddenly, we all had access to a super machine-brain, communicating with it as easily as emailing a personal assistant, but with incredibly efficient results.

While I’m not a tech expert, I am a writer assessing the potential of this “brain” as both a tool and a competitor. My journey with AI began in the newsroom, where I discovered its versatility:

Translating obscure languages
Crafting accurate summaries in specific tones
Interpreting complex statistics

The speed and efficiency were astounding—and a little unnerving.

The Epiphany

Eager to understand this new technology without returning to formal education, I had an epiphany: Why not embark on a large-scale project, using AI itself as both subject and collaborator?

Thus, this book was born—a collaborative venture between GPT and me. It’s a journey into AI, guided by AI, where I aim to:

Explore the possibilities of AI technology
Master the art of AI prompting
Share insights into our collaborative process

I’ll be transparent about our “behind-the-scenes” editing chats, offering you a glimpse into the inner workings of this unique partnership.

Method

I’m not a tech wizard or an IT geek. I’m a writer grappling with powerful new technology that’s both a formidable competitor and an invaluable tool. My goal is to:

Push AI to its limits
Learn to harness its potential
Avoid becoming another victim of technological advancement

“To find the right answers first you need to ask the right questions“

This book is an invitation to join me on this exploration. Together, we’ll navigate the new reality of AI, learning how to adapt, grow, and thrive in a rapidly changing landscape.

Welcome to our journey into the heart of artificial intelligence.
