How I’m Explaining AI to Someone Who’s Already Technical
Tweet · Apr 16, 2026
My dad is 63 and minored in computer programming in the 80's until he realized that he didnt want to write code the rest of his life.
So, he's fairly technical. But still sitting on the sidelines with AI.
I texted him this today. Do you agree?
"I believe that it is maybe one of the most important things you could do right now, to learn these tools… but more than that, its not really “tools” per se that we need to know, its understanding the CONCEPT of all this.
Its a forest and trees situation. Big picture instead of granular stuff. Tools are changing DAILY, but the understanding of what you want to do and whats possible to be done is most important.
All that to say Is let’s get you on the $20/mo Claude Pro plan and get you caught up to speed."
