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
