No jargon. No Hype. Just a transparent daily record of my trial, error, and consistent progress towards mastering AI.

Start Learning AI From Scratch (Daily)

Receive the zero-jargon log of my real trial-and-error progress straight to your inbox every weekday.

Meet the Author (and Fellow AI Amateur)

I'm not a venture capitalist, an ML engineer, or an industry guru. I'm just a fellow beginner who was tired of the overwhelming hype and jargon that makes learning AI feel impossible.

I started Embarrassing AI as a commitment to myself (and now, to thousands of you) to document the messy, imperfect, and sometimes cringey process of learning AI from scratch.

I believe that slow, daily practice and honest trial-and-error beats reading complex research papers every time. My goal is simple: to make sure you know you’re not the only one making embarrassing mistakes. I show you all of mine so you can learn faster.
