Eric Siu explains how to learn AI outside traditional education. Start with ChatGPT or Gemini Pro to build prompting skills, then move to Claude for coding and autonomous agents like Nemo Claw. Anyone can pick this up if they stay curious and practice.
For example, if I were a student today, the first thing I would do is to learn AI. How do I learn to interact with ChatGPT? How do I learn to interact with Gemini Pro? And learning how to interact with AI is not unlike being someone who is really good at asking questions. You're incredibly good at asking questions, and prompting AI is very, very similar. You can't just randomly ask a bunch of questions.
So if you want to learn AI, it really doesn't matter what age you are because we've talked to people that are still in Right now, they're going to amazing schools, and they're going beyond just prompting AI. And so yes, absolutely, you can start by interacting with Grok, asking good questions, interacting with Gemini, but then you got to go beyond that. So then you start using—you think you start to think about using how do I use Claude? How do I then use Claude skills? How do I then use Claude cowork? How do I use Claude code? And then how do I eventually graduate up to using these autonomous agents? Could be like a Nemo Claw or Open Claw or a Hermes agent. These are all things that are. As long as you have curiosity, you're gonna learn more and more. But it starts with interacting with these in the very beginning. And I'm telling you, there's people that I know in their 50s and 60s that are using this all the time, people that are 19 years old using it all the time. One thing is very similar about all these people. They are naturally curious, they want to get better, and they have— there's no level where they feel comfortable.
