How AI Thinks: Understand AI Better Than Most Adults
YouTube just recommended you a video you never searched for. ChatGPT wrote an essay that sounds human. Your phone recognized your face in the dark. None of this is magic. It's math, data, and millions of repetitions. You don't need to know how to code or understand algebra — just bring your curiosity. By the end, you'll be the person who actually understands how AI works: why ChatGPT doesn't "know" anything (it predicts the next word), how images are generated from pure noise, and why your YouTube feed looks nothing like your friend's. 20 short video lessons (5–7 min each), each one starting with a question you already have — like "How does YouTube know what I want to watch?" — and answering it with real science, killer metaphors, and zero textbook vibes. You'll test yourself after every lesson and see results right away.

What you’ll learn
How machines learn from data
Discover how computers went from following rules to finding patterns on their own — not as abstract theory, but as something you can explain to any adult. You'll understand the three types of machine learning and spot them in Spotify, TikTok, and games you play every day.
Neural networks: brains made of math
Find out how scientists copied an idea from your actual brain — and turned it into something with 175 billion parameters. You'll see how a single artificial neuron works, why layers matter, and how backpropagation lets networks learn from mistakes. You'll never hear "neural network" and think "myste
The AI that creates (and lies)
Learn how ChatGPT generates text word by word and how image AI sculpts pictures from pure noise. Then discover where it all breaks down: hallucinations, bias, and the fact that AI doesn't actually understand anything. Spoiler: it's the world's most confident parrot.
AI is already running your life
Understand how YouTube's algorithm picks videos for you using 80 billion signals, what a filter bubble actually is (and how to pop it), and why your phone made 50 invisible AI decisions in the last hour. You won't just use technology — you'll see through it.
