Hey HN,

I'm a person who uses AI every day — one who wished to have a comprehensive beginner’s guide. Now I teach people how to leverage the power of AI. Wrote and scheduled 90 simple guides in 3 weeks.

I realized people miss the basics. Everyone speaks about ChatGPT, but nobody speaks about what AI is — in simple, familiar terms.

So I did this: 1. Got a self-explanatory domain / 2. Made a bullet-list guide defining AI & ML / 3. Wrote how to begin using AI and later scale up

I put this guide together the way I would've liked to have when I got started, so I hope you find it as useful as I do! Any feedback is welcome, especially negative

David

What do you use AI for?

I guess the illustrations for the article were made with ai - they are all different styles visually. I like it allmost all the way through, gives a nice fuzzy ai edge to the feel, until 55% done then it starts to feel too weird.

Yep, the images are made with DALL-E 3 + some editing... Grammar isn't what DALL-E is best at. At least for the moment!

After that 55%, can you elaborate a bit? Is it too complicated, or just nothing of value for the user?

As in, not something that an AI rookie would ever use

Personally did not like it - way too much style over substance

Thanks for the feedback. As for substance, what information would you say is missing?
