Meeting AI - Me and AI
I knew nothing about programming or AI. Here's why I got curious, what I felt, and how it all began.
Key Takeaways
- ▸Anyone can start their AI journey from zero knowledge
- ▸Not knowing isn't scary — it's the best starting line
- ▸What matters isn't perfect preparation, but the courage to take one step
It All Started with Simple Curiosity
Honestly, until a few months ago, the word "AI" felt like something from a distant world that had nothing to do with me.
Programming experience? Zero. Tech knowledge? Practically zero. I was just an ordinary person who could barely manage smartphone apps.
But one day, I saw a news story about "AI writing articles" and "AI creating art," and I was genuinely surprised.
"Wait, it can really do that?"
That single thought was where it all began.
The First Step: Just Try It
Having an interest didn't mean I could immediately start doing something.
I didn't know where to begin. Online resources were full of jargon that made my eyes glaze over. "Maybe it's too early for me" — I thought that countless times.
But one day, I gathered my courage and typed a message to an AI chatbot. Just one word: "Hello."
The response made me smile a little. And I thought:
"Oh, this is actually pretty easy to talk to."
In that moment, the wall felt just a little bit lower.
Not Knowing Isn't Something to Be Ashamed Of
When you start researching AI, you quickly notice that many people seem to know so much more than you. Social media is full of provocative claims like "Make millions with AI" or "AI will take your job."
At first, I panicked. Everyone seemed so far ahead.
But when I calmed down and thought about it, everyone was a beginner once. Everyone starts from "I don't know."
Not knowing isn't shameful. Pretending to know when you don't — that's what's truly dangerous.
So I decided to make "not knowing" my weapon.
What This Blog Is About
This blog isn't a technical guide written by an AI expert.
It's a real-time growth diary of a complete beginner learning as they go.
- What confused me
- How I researched things
- What I felt
- Where I failed
I'll write it all honestly.
Because I know there are others out there thinking "I want to start something new, but I can't take that first step."
To those people, I want to say just one thing:
The unknown isn't something to fear. It's the greatest adventure.
What's Next
Next time, I'll explore "What is AI generation?" — summarizing what I've learned as a beginner.
It might be obvious to experts. But I believe that a beginner writing in a beginner's words can reach people that expert explanations can't.
Let's walk into the unknown together.
