About the book

You've already been using AI in your maps, your inbox, your bank and your streaming queue. This book explains what's actually going on, in plain English, without the hype or the jargon.

AI is software that finds patterns and makes predictions. Once you see it that way, the headlines get less alarming, the tools get more useful, and you can decide for yourself where AI belongs in your life and your work.

In this book you'll learn how to:

  • Spot the AI you already use every day
  • Understand what AI can and can't do, and why it sounds so sure of itself
  • Ask AI tools for what you actually want
  • Use AI at home and at work without handing over your judgement
  • Tell real progress from hype

About the author

DJ (Danijel-James Wynyard-McClay) is an Australian software engineer, writer and podcaster, and the creator of How-To-Use-AI.com and Useful Stash. His career spans software engineering, cloud infrastructure, automation, systems integration and security, including machine learning and automation work long before ChatGPT made AI a dinner-table topic.

He distrusts hype, likes evidence, and writes for people who want enough knowledge, practical experience and healthy scepticism to make up their own minds.
