6 lessons
What "AI" Actually Means in 2026 (No Sci-Fi)
Separate the marketing from the reality: what today's AI genuinely is, what it isn't, and why "it's just predicting the next word" is the single most useful thing you can understand about it. You'll write a one-sentence definition you could give your boss.
LLM, Model, ChatGPT — What's the Difference?
Untangle the words people use interchangeably and shouldn't. Learn what a "model" is, why ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini and Claude are different front doors to the same kind of thing, and how to refer to them without sounding lost.
Prompts, Tokens, and Context (the words you'll use daily)
The three terms you'll actually use every day. Understand what a prompt really is, why "tokens" and "context window" decide what the AI can handle, and how knowing this quietly makes your results better.
Hallucinations: Why Confident AI Is Sometimes Dead Wrong
The most important word in the whole field. Learn why AI invents convincing falsehoods, why it sounds so sure, and the simple mental rule for when to trust it — so you never get burned the way most casual users do.
Agents, Automation, and Where This Is All Headed
Demystify the buzzwords coming next: "agents," "automation," "copilots." You'll understand what they mean in normal-person terms and why they matter for your job — without the hype.
Build Your One-Page AI Glossary
Pull it together into your own plain-English cheat-sheet of every term that matters, written in your words. This is the artifact you'll glance at before meetings — and the proof to yourself that you actually get it now.
