Accessible and straightforward overview of AI, with some very nice examples. I do not have a lot of background knowledge on AI and was not looking for a technical explanation and I felt like this did exactly what I needed it to in a moderately entertaining way. Shane gives very specific examples of how AI works and the limitations and shortcomings of it.

I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy this book, although it was not what I was expecting going into it. It was more of a memoir and had some self help tidbits, which are both elements I don't usually like, but Mosley executed both very well. Her humor was on point and listening to her narrate the book definitely added to it. I did not love her chapter on body image and how she characterized the use of Ozempic for weight loss, but I did appreciate that she acknowledged her shortcomings on the topic and while I think it could have been a little deeper and more reflective, her self awareness was evident.
