I must admit, I’m behind in a lot of ways when it comes to AI. I’ve dabbled in it with some basic graphics, outlines for blog posts, and even helping with outlines for courses. But, the reality is, I’m not very good at it.
AI has taken off in the last couple of years (maybe longer), and I’m afraid that if I don’t get in front of it, I’ll be a statistic where others will thrive. Can’t let that happen, right?
How To Catch Up With AI Education
Have you seen ads flying around LinkedIn and Facebook? You know the ones. The ones that say you can learn AI in 15 minutes a day.
I saw one recently, and the list included the following:
| Chat GPT Prompt Engineering | Perplexity | Notion AI – Habit Tracker |
| MidJourney – Marketing Visuals | Dall-E – Brain Comic Fun | Runway – Explainer Video |
| Canva Magic | Jasper CBT | Pictory |
| ElevenLabs | Claude | Gemini |
| Descript | Headspace AI | Zapier |
| Otter | Rewind | Miro |
| Loom | Quillbot | Wysa |
| Grammerlygo | Brain FM | Krisp |
| Airtable AI | Brancher | Synthesia |
| CoHere |
To be honest. I haven’t heard of half of these. Something tells me this is just a handful of what’s out there already.
I know of at least a few others because I’ve used them in creating websites already. The way they work is, you give it a prompt, and AI goes in and generates a website. That’s not the end of it, however. You need to go in and massage what’s there, add links, change a bunch of stuff, however, because it wasn’t included in the prompt. Then, go in and add your images, write your blog posts, and add contact information and forms.
Not quite as cut and dry as you would hope.
Knowing I’m behind already, I’m going to challenge myself.
I’m going to dedicate one hour per day, two days per week, to learning about AI. I’ll look for tutorials, videos, and any other mechanism I can find to learn about this new technology.
I hope that in the end, I’ll at least have a solid foundation that I can then build on the ones I find most helpful for what I do. The first will be Chat GPT Prompt Engineering, even though I know just a little about it already.
But. I’m not going to limit myself to 15 minutes. I’ll find stuff for up to an hour or so to dive into each one. 15 minutes seems pretty unreasonable to learn anything useful.
I’ll share the results in additional blog posts.
AI Question?
I have a question for you. Three, actually.
How many of these have you used?
How long did it take you to learn it to the point you could use it effectively?
Where would you recommend learning an AI tool?
Thank, in advance.
