Some companies are shelling out $900 an hour for AI consulting (no, not me—though I wish). Meanwhile, my neighbor’s kid is using ChatGPT to crank out essays for free, and my mom’s asking an AI for banana bread recipes.

It’s weird—the same technology is both a luxury product and an everyday sidekick, depending on who’s using it. Big firms get tangled up in legacy systems and red tape, hoping AI will solve it all. Regular people? They just get answers, advice, and even tutoring, all with a few clicks.

We’re living through the great unbundling of expertise, where AI is as accessible to a teenager with Wi-Fi as it is to a Fortune 500 CEO. The real winners? Not the ones with the fanciest tools—but the ones who know what to ask.

Learn more about what they are, why they matter, and how they're changing the way work gets done.

What the 🦊 is Generative AI, really? t’s not thinking. It’s not searching. It’s predicting. In this guide, we unpack what makes GenAI different from traditional AI, how models like ChatGPT actually work, and what you need to know before jumping in. From tokens to temperature, it’s everything you didn’t know you needed to know—no hype, just human-first clarity.
