"The most relatable book about AI"
"Storytelling at its finest!"
AI is here to stay, and is increasingly shaping the daily decisions that make us who we are. In this relatable, fast-paced, frequently hilarious dissection of the AI hype, Jacob Eliza shows you how we got here and how we can use AI to discover unexpected formulas for a better life.
In a world where artificial intelligence is everywhere-helping us choose our music, find a restaurant, and even navigate our dating lives-The No-Brainers is the book you didn't know you needed. Written for anyone who's ever felt like technology is racing ahead faster than we can keep up, this book takes a step back to make sense of it all.
Jacob Eliza is your friendly guide on this journey through the world of algorithms, AI, and the everyday decisions they shape. But don't expect a tech manual or dry academic lecture. With humor, relatable stories, and a touch of nostalgia, Jacob brings the topic to life. Remember the 90s? Jacob does-he was a young entrepreneur back when the internet was just starting to take over the world, and his experiences give this book a unique perspective that blends pop culture, technology, and human behavior.
This is not your typical tech book. The No-Brainers is for people who don't consider themselves tech experts but still want to understand how AI is changing the way we live. Through fun anecdotes-whether it's deciding what to eat for dinner or how we find romance in a world of dating apps-Jacob cuts through the hype and shows how AI is deeply embedded in our daily lives. He offers a fresh, optimistic perspective, even as he explores the concerns that come with giving so much power to algorithms.
By the end of this book, you'll have a better understanding of how to navigate AI's growing influence, but more importantly, you'll come away with practical tips on how to live your best life in the digital age. And, just in case you're short on time, every chapter ends with five simple takeaways that you can use as conversation starters or life hacks.
