LEARNING PATH
What you actually learn by using it.
Usefulness turns something real into a useful result. Context gives AI the details that actually change the answer. Iteration improves the work instead of expecting a perfect first response. Judgment notices assumptions and answers that sound better than they are. Verification checks important answers at a level appropriate to the consequence. Independence means knowing when AI helps and when you no longer need the special experience.
START WITH SOMETHING REAL
You do not need to learn "AI" first.
Write the email you've been putting off, understand a confusing document, compare a purchase, plan a trip, fix a computer problem, organize an idea, research something unfamiliar, prepare for a difficult conversation, work through a decision, or understand a screenshot or photo.
