You're Not Bad at AI — You're Flying Blind
The machine under the chat box, and the operator mindset.
AI, ML & LLMs — The Map
Three letters in every headline, and how they actually relate.
How an LLM Actually Works
Next-token prediction. It generates — it doesn’t retrieve.
Tokens, Context & Why AI Forgets
The working desk. Out of the window means out of existence.
Hallucination
Confident isn’t correct — how a wrong answer gets born, and the four habits that catch it.
Prompting: Stop Typing Wishes
It averages what you leave unspecified. The brief — then steer.
Memory, Projects & System Prompts
Stop re-explaining yourself — same trick everywhere: prepare the desk.
RAG: Open Book Beats Closed Book
Search first, paste onto the desk, answer — grounded and cited.
Tools, Connectors & Agents
Give it hands: the tool flow, MCP, and the plan–act–observe loop.
The Operator
What it owns, what stays with you — it's the assistant, you are the brain.
How this course works
Each lesson is a short narrated, animated video plus a written guide — summary, key terms, and the one mistake to drop. On the live platform you can pause any lesson and ask the AI Tutor, which answers from that lesson’s material. Start at Lesson 1 and go in order; each one removes a confusion that was blocking the next.
