Mark Anthony Germanos authored the "AI Ain’t So Tough series" on Amazon KDP. The "AI Ain't So Tough" series presents artificial intelligence concepts in an easily understandable and consumable manner. Beginner topics like prompting, editing and polishing AI-generated content to your own voice appear alongside advanced topics like deepfakes, plagiarism and AI's power demands. After all, Mark named this series "AI Ain’t So Tough," not "AI is Too Tough."
Mark authored "How Hacks Happen and how to protect yourself." "How Hacks Happen" is a workbook that explores topics such as phishing attacks, social engineering, multifactor authentication, password security and social media data monetization. It is a workbook, not merely a book. Mark advises life is not a spectator sport.

For those starting out or asking "How do I use AI, like all my coworkers do?" this is for you. AI for Beginners shows the power of prompting. You start with a simple question (prompt), learn, strengthen your question (prompt), get a better answer, and of course, continue. The author adds quizzes and light, enjoyable homework to help the reader absorb the concepts.
The author is a cybersecurity trainer. He knows how to break down advanced topics and make them more digestible for laypersons. I enjoyed this journey.
This is very good book to help us to understand a lot about AI that I myself was not familiar with. There were not a lot of terminology tof course hat I had never heard of actually, it was really a really good book from the standpoint that it is something that we need to know as we move about in our everyday lives …..good book.
Good pointers about using AI prompts more effectively with a lot of examples, homework and quizzes at the end of each chapter to help the reader remember the salient points. Also a section on creating music with AI!
