The Anti-Tutorial
Everything You Do NOT Need Before You Start Using AI
by Deb Haas, AI Confidential
❌
A paid subscription
Free tools are powerful enough to blow your mind on day one.
❌
A prompt engineering certification
You already know how to ask questions. That's the whole skill.
❌
Permission from your IT department
This isn't a software install. It's a website. You've got this.
❌
To have watched any YouTube explainers
Skip the 52-minute deep dives. You'll learn faster by doing.
❌
To know what a large language model is
You don't need to understand combustion engines to drive a car.
❌
To finish that AI book you bought
It's collecting dust. That's okay. Let it go.
❌
To have succeeded at it before
There's no prerequisite. First-timers welcome - seriously.
❌
To feel confident
Confidence comes
after
the first conversation, not before.
❌
To know what you want to use it for
Start with curiosity. Direction finds you along the way.
❌
To not feel ridiculous talking to a chatbot
Everyone feels silly at first. Then they feel amazed. Every single time.
What you DO need:
A browser.
ChatGPT.com
. One thought in your head.
That's it.
