AI 101 / Demystification
Plain-language explainers and interactive walkthroughs that reveal the levers and preserve agency: AI as a tool with boundaries, not an oracle.
Problem
People are asked to use AI systems they do not understand. Existing material often overhypes, oversimplifies, or mystifies the subject. Agency shrinks when the box is treated as magic.
Approach
Build plain-language explainers and interactive walkthroughs that reveal how variables are weighted, where data is indexed, and where human judgment must intervene. Teach boundaries, uncertainty labels, and reviewable workflows.
Demonstrates
Demystification over deification, human-in-the-loop framing, and literacy that refuses magical thinking: the Rook & Ink anti-hype standard applied as a product and teaching surface.
