WARNING

Learning about Generative AI is not like drinking from a fire hose.

It is like drinking from 10 fire hoses running full blast right at your face. And just when you think you are starting to understand it, things change and there is more to learn.

I speak from experience. It can be exhausting and frustrating but so important for us to learn what we can. AI is here to stay.
