AI For All of Us: A Guide for Regular People

Using AI in Your Life and Business, Even If You Think It's Dumb

Introduction

Here goes nothing.

This book is a practical guide for entrepreneurs, creatives, and the everyday person who's ever felt overwhelmed or skeptical about the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI). If you've sensed it's high time to engage with AI but didn't know where to start, allow me to explain what AI is, what it can mean for you, and how you can get started.

I'm explaining this in the same way that I would describe it to my mother. In fact, she inspired this book. At one point, I was showing her how to use AI to brainstorm ideas about how to meet new friends in her community. She had never used AI before, but as soon as she saw how useful it could be, her eyes lit up.

All it took for her mind to open up to the possibility that AI could improve her life was someone with the patience to explain how it worked.

That's what I hope to do for you.

I will tell you about my journey of integrating AI into my artistic, professional and personal life. I'll share how AI transformed my wife Lesley's fashion retail business. And how AI turned her from a skeptic into a believer that AI is an essential tool for success. I'll also recount how AI, particularly ChatGPT, played a pivotal role in ideating and launching a writing assistant app which has helped me finish this very book and helped me drive that app to over $250k in revenue in less than six months.

When I talk about AI, I mean user-friendly, accessible tools that can significantly enhance how you manage your business and personal projects. This book is a comprehensive guide to understanding and leveraging AI, no matter your prior experience or knowledge level.

This guide is about unraveling the complexities of AI and empowering you to make more informed decisions in various aspects of your life and business. By demonstrating how to apply AI in tangible, real-world scenarios, this book guides you in boosting efficiency, refining strategies, and enhancing your business and income. These are not just theories but practical insights ready for immediate application, helping you navigate decisions with greater clarity and confidence.

If you're looking for a down-to-earth, relatable way to start your AI journey and to learn how to integrate AI into your life and business in innovative, practical ways, you've made the right choice. This book is for you, especially if you've ever thought AI was just overhyped or too technical to engage with. Let's explore together and discover how AI can make a substantial difference in your professional and personal life.

I'm promising a lot here, but to put it bluntly, Using AI can make your life better.

Why should you listen to me?

So, why should you consider my perspective on AI? In a world brimming with tech experts, why listen to a dude who was literally the number one result when you Google "How to draw a penis?" for ten years straight from 2013 to 2023? (Now I’m number two.)

My name is Victor Varnado. I'm a comedian, cartoonist, and filmmaker. My work has been in the New Yorker and on Comedy Central. Other stuff, too, but I won't get into that right now.

I consider myself a creative person first.

I've also developed a software innovation that attracted the attention and support of the National Science Foundation through a grant.

I know I'm laying it on thick, but if someone advises you, the medicine always goes down easier if you know they've done their homework. (I think my imposter syndrome is writing this introduction.)

If you're looking for someone who's navigated uncharted territories and gleaned valuable insights, you're in the right place. There is much more to learn about how to use AI, especially when viewing it through a lens that merges art, technology, and human intuition. Think of it as learning a new dance – there might be initial stumbles, but I'm here to guide each step, leveraging a lifetime of creative improvisation.

And here's something funny. I'm an incredible advocate for AI, but I don't always listen to it, nor should you.

AI suggested that I include more personal stories in each chapter, but whenever I read books where I want to learn something, I prefer a persuasive textbook rather than a memoir. I'll sprinkle in a few personal anecdotes when they're essential, but for the most part, I'll stick to giving you practical information you can use.

Take that, AI.
