AI Fluency Foundations | A Practical Framework Without the Hype

You cannot work well with a tool you misunderstand. This is the foundations book: what a language model actually is in plain English, the behaviors that follow (hallucination, sycophancy, uniform confidence), and the habits that separate fluent users from confident victims.

• The behaviors of prediction engines, demonstrated with two-minute tests you run yourself
• The original LEND test: four questions that sort what to delegate and what to keep
• Prompting that transfers across every tool, plus the honest list of tricks that do not work
• The five-minute verification loop, step by step, with the four error species and their tells
• Privacy, disclosure, and a 30-day habit-building on-ramp with weekly checklists
