PROMPT ENGINEERING ISN’T MAGIC, IT’S JUST GOOD COMMUNICATION
If you’ve spent any time on YouTube or social media, you’ve probably seen someone selling a course on prompt engineering or offering a collection of “secret prompts” that promise better AI results. I always find this interesting because, in my opinion, prompt engineering is often made to sound far more complicated than it really is.…

THE PROBLEM WITH VIBE CODING NOBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT
There’s been a lot of hype around vibe coding lately. Everywhere you look, people are building apps with AI, shipping products faster than ever, and sharing impressive demos online. And honestly, I think that’s exciting. But there’s one concern I keep coming back to. Recently, I had a conversation with someone who had built a…

WHAT DO ADS IN CHATGPT MEANS FOR USERS?
I recently read an article about advertising in ChatGPT. According to the report, ads will not influence responses or affect search results. The advertising experience is intended to remain separate from the AI itself. That sounds reassuring, but it also raises some interesting questions. A FAMILIAR INTERNET MODEL Like many people, I’ve occasionally noticed ads…

Almost every day, headlines claim that people are losing their jobs because companies are adopting AI or that graduates may no longer need university degrees because machines will replace them anyway. Whenever I…

THE BEST WAY TO USE GENERATIVE AI
People often ask me, “What’s the best way to use generative AI?” I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this, experimenting with different approaches, and observing how these tools behave. One thing I’ve learned is that generative AI is not a magical engine that manufactures information out of nowhere. Models are trained on historical…

IS THE COMPUTER SCIENCE DEGREE DEAD?
There has been a growing misconception in recent times that the rise of generative AI and “vibe coding” has somehow made the study of computer science unnecessary. Some people have even started saying that the discipline is no longer relevant because AI can now write code on demand. This belief is not only inaccurate, but…

AI IS POWERFUL, BUT IT CANNOT REPLACE KNOWLEDGE
Generative AI tools have changed the way we research, learn, and complete academic work. Platforms like ChatGPT can gather information quickly and present it in a well-organised way. Instead of moving from one webpage to another using a traditional search engine, you can type a question into an AI tool and receive a clear response…
