A Narrative Guide to the New Language of AI
Follow the journey of Sophia Rivera, a former English professor turned tech writer, as she navigates the frustrating gap between human and machine communication. Faced with an impossible deadline and an AI assistant that won't cooperate, Sophia embarks on an unexpected quest to master the new language of artificial intelligence.
Through encounters with an eclectic cast of mentors, from a patient AI researcher in Berkeley to a teenage niece who treats AI like a puppy, this narrative nonfiction weaves together practical wisdom with compelling storytelling. Each chapter pairs real-world scenarios with actionable "Pocket Insights" you can apply to your next AI interaction.
From crafting better prompts to understanding why AI thinks in patterns rather than stories, from ethical considerations to practical business applications, Merchants of AI offers a comprehensive framework for the most critical skill of the digital age.
