What it is

Seven short chapters on how tools like ChatGPT and Claude actually work, for people who use AI but don't know what's inside it.

Learning by playing

Each idea has a demo you can touch: type a sentence and watch it break into tokens, move a temperature slider and watch the next word change, see attention light up between words, run a tiny training loop, and see real examples of an AI making things up.

A second version from honest review

After the first version I went through it like a newcomer and wrote down every confusing moment: jargon used before it was explained, buttons that didn't look like buttons, labels that read like captions. Each one got a fix in the next version.
