A plain-English guide to learning, laughing, solving everyday problems, and finally understanding what AI can do for you
ChatGPT is not just for tech experts. It is for the rest of us.
This friendly, plain-English guide shows beginners how to use ChatGPT for everyday questions, better decisions, learning, creativity, and a little more fun. Authors Kim “Kikas” Sekas and Bill “MrExcel” Jelen explain how to move beyond one-and-done questions and have useful conversations with AI.
Readers will learn how to write better prompts, ask follow-up questions, turn ChatGPT into a patient tutor, quiz themselves, brainstorm ideas, troubleshoot problems, improve writing, analyze images, create artwork, play games, write songs and stories, and get unstuck when they do not know what to do next.
Along the way, the authors share practical examples, surprising experiments, and plenty of humor. They also address the questions new users naturally have: Can ChatGPT remember me? Does it have feelings? Am I oversharing? Why does it sometimes make things up? What are the social and environmental concerns surrounding AI?
No programming knowledge is required. The book begins with setting up a free ChatGPT account and gradually introduces the features and habits that make conversational AI genuinely useful.
Whether you are curious, cautious, intimidated, or simply wondering what all the fuss is about, ChatGPT for the Rest of Us will help you understand what AI can do, where it can go wrong, and how to start using it with confidence.
““If you’ve been hearing about ChatGPT everywhere but still wondering what you would actually use it for, this book is for you. Kim and Bill skip the hype and show how AI can help you learn something new, solve an everyday problem, make a better decision, or simply have a good laugh. It’s friendly, practical, and refreshingly free of tech-speak.” ”
