📚 AI Skills Academy

Five modules from "What is AI?" to "I built my own system."

1.AI Doesn't Know Anything

AI models predict text based on patterns, not knowledge. They can sound confident while being wrong — this is called hallucination.

Key Insight

Treat AI outputs as suggestions, not answers. Always verify claims that matter.

2.Anatomy of a Great Prompt

Role + Context + Task + Format + Constraints = better results.

Example

You are a teacher. Explain X to a 10-year-old in 3 paragraphs.

Chain of thought, few-shot examples, reflexion, role-play — patterns that consistently improve output.

Pattern

"Let's think step by step..."
