I'll admit, all the talk about AI had me feeling like I was the last person to get the memo, and honestly, a bit intimidated. This book felt like a lifeline. Instead of just throwing a dictionary of tech terms at me, it actually walked me through how these tools work and, more importantly, how I can use them in my own life. My prompts for ChatGPT used to be clumsy one-liners; now, after learning a few of the strategies from the book, I’m getting results that are genuinely useful. It’s like finally learning the right way to ask a question. Liz Leafloor’s narration is just wonderful, making complex topics feel like a conversation with a really smart, patient friend. I would recommend this audiobook to anyone who feels like they're standing on the sidelines of the AI revolution and wants a friendly, practical guide to finally jump in.

A Lifeline in the Overwhelming World of AI.
