Low hanging fruit
Learning to optimize Microsoft office suite, voice recording meetings and asking for summary and action items, asking co-pilot to create macros, other summaries, asking ChatGPT or other “How to start” if you have tasks where not sure where to start. Research, legal advice (starting point), etc  Previous Message And the unknown unknowns are a mental mountain. I'm sure I will fall into comfort just by doing it, it's not a difficult thing to learn some utility (as ab75 seems to say). But I'm very much at yeah, I want the training wheels just to be able to get on the bike and move. Previous Message I have not done any of them but this one looked interesting, and maybe along the lines of what you are looking for: https://aidbnewyear.com/ My worry with any organized class is that things are moving so fast, they might be teaching things that are already obsolete. Previous Message I saw an ad for "AI Automation and Agentic AI Basics", through a local university (UMSL). The pitch is: Learn how to strategically use AI and no-code tools to build automations from AI experts. No coding background required! (Course info is at https://upskill.umsl.edu/ai-automation/syllabus ) Ok, sure, sounds good. Is this something that's actually useful? And, I guess, an efficient use of my money to learn?
