AI literacy starts with 💩. Or the lack thereof. AI does not poop.

It does not sleep.

Does not have a bad day.

Never wonders how you're doing once you turn off the computer.

It's a machine that runs a process. That's not an insult. It's the most useful mental model you can give a kid (or yourself) before spending the next decade interacting with these things.

These are ways I de-humanize my interactions with AI. Curious to hear yours!
