 Hi everyone,

  

I hope you’ve been doing well! 😊

  

I’m reaching out because I’m putting on a free, 4-hour seminar based on my new short book, “The Very Gentle Introduction to LLM AI.” If you’ve been curious about “what this AI stuff actually is,” or you’ve used ChatGPT and thought, “Okay… but what’s really going on under the hood?”—this is for you.

  

This seminar is designed for adult beginners. No math-heavy lectures. No buzzword soup. Just a friendly, plain-English walk-through of what LLMs are, why they sometimes get things wrong, and how to use them more confidently.

  

We’ll cover:

 

1. A quick history of text-generating software (from early chatbots to today’s LLM boom)
2. The big idea behind LLMs: predicting the next piece of text
3. How an LLM “reads” and “writes”
4. What an LLM “knows” and what “knowing” even means
5. Why LLMs sometimes hallucinate—and easy ways to sanity-check answers
6. Conversations, memory, and personalization
7. Agents and tools (what they are and why they exist)
8. A quick tour of popular AI software (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, GPT4All, Grok)
9. A brief intro to AI beyond text (images, audio, video, multimodal)
10. A beginner-friendly intro to programming an LLM AI (using a simple API example in Python)

 If you’d like to attend, just reply to this email with “✅ 𝒀𝒆𝒔!”

 

 RSVP PLEASE! ✅ 𝒀𝒆𝒔!

 

 🤝 No pressure at all. If you or someone you know would enjoy a gentle, friendly introduction, feel free to forward this along.

 

 Hope to see you there!

 

 RSVP PLEASE! ✅ 𝒀𝒆𝒔

  

All the best,

 

 

Thomas
