Strip away the hype. Learn what AI actually is, what it can and cannot do, and why now is the moment to build a skill around it.
AI is software that learns patterns from huge amounts of examples, then uses those patterns to guess a good answer.
It does not "think" like a person. It predicts. When you type a question into ChatGPT, it is predicting the most likely helpful words to type back.
That is it. No magic. A very good guessing machine trained on a lot of text.
