Understanding AI is not easy even if you are into software. We are so used to the idea that you need to write some code then it will do exactly what we programmed it to do, that software having a mind of its own its hard to grasp.
If you are over 45, we’ve been there before. We learned HTML, then Dreamweaver came along and promised all web developers will disappear. We learned ASP and switched to PHP. We learned blogging because it said it will make everything else disappear, then Facebook came along. We learned JS and jQuery, then we switched to React.
Now it time to learn some AI.
