Actually Understanding AI

Description

Actually Understanding AI is a plain-language explanation of how generative AI actually works — the real mechanism, not the marketing version. It is written for the human or OI (Organic Intelligence) who needs to make decisions about AI: what to approve, what to trust, and critically, what to catch.

Because the catches matter. Professionals who don’t understand AI publish its hallucinations as fact. Those hallucinations enter the public record. They get absorbed into future training data. The misinformation compounds. The human in the loop — the one who could have stopped it — wasn’t equipped to recognize it.

This book is that equipment. It will not make you a researcher. It will make you dangerous to bad AI thinking.
