As we say in Python "Hello World!"

There's never a "perfect" time to start something new. That's why I'm taking the plunge today and launching my first AI-focused newsletter.

I don't have everything figured out yet. But I believe if we wait until we feel "ready," we'll be waiting forever.

So why not start now?

In this newsletter, I'll be sharing the latest AI developments, resources, and tips in a fun and accessible way.

No advanced degrees required!

Just an open mind and a willingness to learn something new.

This journey is just getting started.

I hope you'll join me as we explore the fascinating world of AI together, one week at a time.

So, who am I? I'm Nix G, ( my maiden name was "Winkelbauer" so am sure you'll understand why I reduced my new surname to just the letter G ?? )

My background is that of a small Biz Tech Recruitment owner, and I am now embarking on all things AI.

So far its so been an epic adventure and I can safely say that I am besotted!

Behind my professional day to day role, lies an enthusiast of nature, trail running, Python programming, building ChatBots & GPTees, iPhoneography, and writing.

Now, I'm embarking on an AI adventure, and it's been a beautiful journey so far!

I wanted to share my journey, from being a Tech Sourcer | Recruiter to diving headfirst into the world of ?Artificial?intelligence - a transition as exciting as it is challenging.

Why AI? I liken this era to Aladdin’s magic lamp - crazy, limitless possibilities with AI at our fingertips! ??

Here's my personal educational roadmap so far:

Devoured Andrew Ng “How to Build Your Career in AI” - truly an eye-opener!

He outlines three critical key steps:

1. Learning Foundational Skills - The bedrock of any AI career.
2. Working on Projects - To deepen these skills and build a robust portfolio.
3. Creating Your Future - Whether it's finding a job in AI or starting your own AI-focused business.

Then I Immersed myself in courses from DeepLearning.AI AI to 美国哈佛大学 "CS50 Python course" on YouTube

The Implementation Phase included experimenting daily with tools like Ideogram to Dalle, and more recently with OpenAI 's GPTs.

print("My Honest Take on AI = It's a sublime toolset helping machines learn like us.")

Simple yet powerful. It’s not just a job creator; it’s a perspective changer.

The mantra of AI is pretty much, “Look for the problems, as AI can fix that!”

So, my simple message to you is. Embrace AI.

It's here to simplify, not complicate our lives.

Start small, like automating repetitive tasks, and gradually explore its vast potential.

Join me as I explore this fascinating field.

We’ll navigate the AI landscape together, from foundational knowledge to creative applications.
