Key Points

The post argues that AI should be treated as a practical tool rather than something mysterious or magical.
It describes personal examples where AI helped quickly solve an HTML coding need and later explained complex topics like gravity slingshots.
The author contrasts the simplicity of their results with others’ exaggerated impressions, suggesting effective AI use is mostly about clear goals and prompt direction.
Overall, the takeaway is that consistent, task-focused prompting can produce real, understandable outcomes across technical and conceptual subjects.

AI is a tool. Period. I spent decades asking forums for help in writing HTML code for my website. I wanted my posts to self-scroll to a particular part when a link was clicked. In thirty minutes, I updated my HTML and got what I wanted. Reading others' posts, you would think I made a deal with the devil. Since the moon mission began, I asked AI to explain how gravity slingshots spaceships work. Now I know.
