FAQ
New to AI? Start with these.
I'm completely new to AI – where do I start?
Right here. Start with our plain-English glossary and the resource library, then follow whatever thread interests you. No background needed.
Is AI going to take my job?
The honest answer is “it depends, and it's already changing some.” The useful move isn't to panic or dismiss it – it's to understand what it's genuinely good and bad at, which is what our resources are for.
What's the difference between ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini?
They're competing AI assistants from different companies (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google), built on similar underlying technology. The differences are real but shift constantly; our glossary explains the terms behind them.
Do your resources cost anything?
No – everything in the library is free to read and share.
