Learn AI Simply


A lantern-lit street at night

No jargon beyond this point 🐾

Nobody here will ask you to code. Nobody here will say “it’s easy” and then open three terminals. And nobody — nobody — will explain what a neural network is unless you specifically request punishment.

Here’s our whole method: figure out what you want. Ask the AI for it, in plain English, like you’d ask a very patient friend. Look at what comes back. Ask again, better. That’s it. That’s the skill. Uncle is learning it at seventy with two-finger typing, which means whatever your excuse is, he’s already used it and disproven it.

Every tutorial: what the tool does in one sentence, why you’d care, the steps (never more than seven), what usually goes wrong, and my verdict at the end — because someone in this operation has standards.

🐾 Boomer’s Take: what if you still can’t do the thing? Uncle’s favorite discovery, and I grudgingly admit it’s clever: when the AI explains something and you still can’t do it — ask the AI to do it for you. Then ask it to show you what it did, step by step, so you learn on the way back. That’s how Uncle builds things he doesn’t understand yet. Some of that requires the paid versions of these tools, and we’ll always tell you when it does — but plenty of it doesn’t, and every lesson we learn lands here and on our episodes, free. Your money stays in your pocket until you know exactly why it’s leaving.

Uncle asked AI to “make Boomer look cool.” I have not forgiven either of them.

Start anywhere. Asking beats knowing. Always has.
