Original Reddit post

Hi all. This post is so embarrassing especially because I’m not super old or anything where maybe people would give someone a pass for asking this. I’m a lawyer. And I see AI being used in our society more and more. With jobs being displaced. It hasn’t hit the legal world as much as it has software engineers but it seems just a matter of time. My law firm is not implementing a lot of AI rapidly. It did implement some and provide some training but it’s not widely used yet and the training wasn’t the best. So I haven’t gotten a lot of formal training on AI use. At the same time, the only thing I’ve used before is AI like ChatGPT or Claude, where I ask a basic question and it answers. So I on my own haven’t explored AI much. Yet it seems others online are decades ahead of me. Talking about linking one tool to another, then to another, then generating a whole website, a whole app, an entire “agent” that does “all your work for you!” I’m worried I’m slipping behind. I’m gonna be like that one person at the office who doesn’t know how to open a PDF. Can someone, in simple terms, please tell me where I can go to learn more about AI tools generally and how they work? And if there are some basics things that you think everyone will be using (the equivalent of using Microsoft Word or an Internet browser)? I’ve tried looking at different things but it seems like there are so many different tools for different things and not sure what’s real and what’s hype. Thank you. submitted by /u/DropShotMachine
