Using AI without being fooled by it

What it is genuinely good at, where it is confidently wrong, and how to check. Written with help from one — which is why it can tell you exactly how these things fail.

What you can do afterwards

Use it for the shape and never for the truth, and know before you start whether being wrong will cost you anything.

Everything inside

What is actually in it

  1. 01The property that explains almost every AI disaster you have read about
  2. 02The eight uses where it genuinely earns its keep, and what they have in common
  3. 03Six failure modes, written plainly — including the one that costs people money
  4. 04Five habits that make it safe to use for real work
  5. 05Ten things worth doing this week, and four never to do
  6. 06What it does not change, and is not going to

Included free, inside the class

The one question that replaces every rule of thumb about when to trust it.

Every class ends with one

The one page to keep

A final page built to be printed on its own and pinned up — the checklist, the numbers, the exact words, and where to verify each of them yourself. It repeats rather than references, because a card that says “see page four” is a card nobody keeps.

What this class will not do

  • Tell you what you will earn. Nobody honestly can.
  • Motivate you. It is a set of instructions, not a speech.
  • Pad itself. It is 6 pages because that is what the subject needs — the last one is yours to keep.

Rates and requirements quoted inside are set by the companies involved and can change without notice. When they do, the class is corrected — and if you hold the library, you get the corrected version at no cost.
