The AI concepts worth understanding

You don't need a computer science degree to use AI well. What helps is a handful of ideas that explain why it behaves the way it does. Why it makes things up, and why it forgets you overnight the second you close the tab.

Each one takes a single idea and explains it the way I'd explain it to a friend over coffee (which is where a few of these started). Skip the math. What's left is the part that changes how you use the tool tomorrow.
