Why complete mastery of AI is unattainable — and why that's okay
Lightly browned and well buttered. A solid pick from the rack.
Summary
The article argues that mastering AI is impossible due to the rapid proliferation of AI tools and constant feature changes across major platforms like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. It reassures readers that feeling unable to keep up is universal, but encourages continued learning as a valuable journey rather than a destination.
