You Don't Need to Understand AI

You Don't Need to Understand AI

You Don't Need to Understand AI

You need someone who already knows what to ask.


You open ChatGPT.

The cursor blinks.

You don't know what to ask.

So you type something vague. You get a generic response. You close the tab. And you go back to doing things by hand.

That's the real problem. Not the lack of training. Not access to tools. It's that nobody told you what to ask.


The Mastery Myth

They want you to believe that to use AI, you need to:

  • Learn "prompt engineering"
  • Take 10-hour courses
  • Master the nuances of each model
  • Become a technical expert

That's false.

You didn't study hotel management to book an Airbnb. You didn't learn accounting to use Venmo. Why should AI require a PhD in prompt engineering?

AI should adapt to you. Not the other way around.


What You Actually Need

You don't need to understand AI.

You need a coach who understands it for you.

Someone who:

  • Knows your context
  • Asks the right questions
  • Absorbs the technical complexity
  • Delivers usable results

Not a generic chatbot. Not an empty assistant waiting for you to know what to ask.


The 10-80-10 Rule

Here's how it works when you work with a good AI coach:

10% — You provide context. What you want. Why it matters.

80% — The coach does the work. Research. Writing. Analysis. Structuring.

10% — You refine. You add your touch. Your voice. Your judgment.

Example: You want to update your resume for a product manager role.

  • 10% — You paste your current resume and say "I'm targeting PM roles at fintech companies"
  • 80% — The coach restructures it, highlights transferable skills, suggests metrics to add
  • 10% — You adjust the tone, add a specific achievement they missed

This doesn't require knowing how to prompt. It requires knowing how to delegate.


A Coach, Not Just an Executor

A good AI coach doesn't just do the work—they teach you while helping.

Every interaction is a learning opportunity:

  • Mental models you can reuse
  • Prompts tailored to your use cases
  • How to delegate effectively in your field

After 10 conversations with a career coach, you've internalized their thinking. You know what to ask AI—and how—for your context.

Automation frees your time. Coaching develops your AI competence.


"Ask Alex" Beats "Use Our AI Tool"

When you "use an AI tool," you face a blank page. You formulate technical queries. You feel alone facing a machine.

When you "ask Alex," you're talking to someone. Alex has a personality. A specialty. Opinions. A perspective on career problems you wouldn't find elsewhere.

It's like the difference between:

  • Searching "how to negotiate your salary" on Google
  • Asking advice from a recruiter friend who knows your industry

Both use information. But one gives you generic results, the other gives you a perspective adapted to you.

Human connection (even fake) beats features. Always.


The Gap Is Widening

While you're hesitating in front of ChatGPT, others are already delegating:

  • Their research
  • Their first drafts
  • Their repetitive tasks
  • Their data analysis

They're not smarter. They don't master AI better.

They just found the right coaches.


You Deserve Better Than a Blank Page

You shouldn't have to become an AI expert to benefit from AI.

You deserve a coach who:

  • Understands your field
  • Speaks your language
  • Works with you, not against you

Stop googling. Start asking.
