The year is 2025.
There's a Mt. Vesuvius-level eruption impending at our very feet. Its oozing hot lava is destined to cover our jobs, our personal lives, the content we create, and the decisions we make. No corner of our existence shall remain untouched by this molten force.
The tremors have already begun. Many respond with fear—clinging to old ways of working.
But here's the truth: the eruption is inevitable. We can already see the smoke rising, feel the ground warming beneath our feet with each new tool and capability emerging daily.
But what if I told you there's another option?
I've spent years obsessed with understanding this new world, not as a programmer or data scientist. I have no technical background, no formal training in the arcane arts of machine learning. My expertise is in being exactly like you: a mortal trying to make sense of seemingly immortal technology.
This community—AI for Mortals—is my sanctuary of practical knowledge. A place where you'll find step-by-step tutorials and templates. I'll show you how to:
This isn't about theoretical discussions of neural networks.
It's about Monday morning.
It's about the project due next week and the career you're building.
And for those projects and that career, I'll be your guide through this new landscape, offering actionable advice you can implement immediately to create better work with less effort.
The AI revolution doesn't have to be something that happens to you. It can be something that happens for you.
Yours in mortal fellowship,
Pat Simmons
