AI, The Models, the Myths, the Legends

Behind the prompts. What models work for you. Tools, toys and techniques.

This presentation, that will extend into a workshop after the meeting, will establish a clear, lasting understanding of how AI works, how to steer it effectively and why it matters.

Topics Covered:

• How AI functions in practical, non-technical terms (prompt triangulation)
• Why prompting matters and how it affects outcomes and control
• The repeatable framework for communicating with AI (Context, Role, Example, Data, Review)
• How to preserve individual voice when using AI
• Common misconceptions about AI and why fundamentals matter more than automation
