Everyone has an opinion about AI. Almost no one explains how it actually works.

AI Reality Check cuts through the hype, the fear, and the marketing to show you what's really happening under the hood — in 30 seconds, no PhD required. Why ChatGPT can't count the letters in "strawberry." Why an "AI agent" is mostly a while loop. Why the chatbot sounds confident even when it's wrong.

I spent years as a database engineer before going deep on AI systems, so I explain this stuff the way I wish someone had explained it to me: concrete, honest, and BS-free.
