This isn't just another book on ai - it's a toolkit. As someone who's spent 15 years navigating the ins and outs of ai, I appreciated the actionable frameworks and real-world examples.

With over 8 years immersed in ai, I've seen my fair share of texts on ai, but Generative AI in 20 Minutes: 's approach is refreshingly original. The discussion on ai challenged my assumptions and offered a new lens through which to view the subject.

Does anyone know if ai is covered in more depth in the author's other works? This introduction was fantastic but left me wanting more!
