AI - Understanding it the modern way

A software architect, struggling to understand AI from scattered sources, launched a series to explain AI in simple terms for developers. The series aims to help developers leverage AI for upskilling and avoid feeling overwhelmed by the technology.

We all use AIs today - From a 5th grader to a retired pensioner, from a small-time business owner to a multimillionaire businessman, from a software engineer to a medical expert. AI exists everywhere!

And to be honest its making our lives very simple. Yes, it does!. Response in no time, flexibility, reliability - yes, AI gives all and even more

And as Software Engineers, we are getting more inclined towards AI. Back in the days, we used to rely on Stackoverflow to get our queries resolved. Sometimes it did, sometimes it didn't. But, AI changed that landscape completely - asking a query, retrieving data, asking follow-ups and so and on so forth.

But, honestly, how many of us have thought - Wow this looks amazing! But how does it actually work!

Let's say I type this in Chat GPT or Gemini or Claude etc: "Hi, how is the weather today?". The AI assistant takes the input and processes it and returns the response. But , there is a lot of processing and workflow happening under the hood.

As a Software Architect, I struggled a lot to get these answers. Different sources, different suggestions. And the suggestions at some point seemed too overwhelming for me. So, I decided to break it down and start a series which will enable people to understand AI. I want to make people understand AI in the simplest way possible and make every developer leverage AI - not just to get their job done, but also to help in upskilling, so that they don't get lost in the overwhelming world of AI as I did initially!
