About the Book
A Guide to Using Artificial Intelligence Correctly is a hands-on technical book for developers, engineers, and technical leads who want to move past hype and actually build with today's AI models. Following Leo, a working engineer, through twenty narrative-driven chapters, the book covers how large language models really work, why context beats clever prompting, and how to avoid hallucinations you can't catch. It walks through the 2026 model ecosystem chapter by chapter — GPT-5.6, Claude 5, Gemini 3.6, Grok 4, the open-source Kimi and DeepSeek families, and Qwen — before moving into edge AI, local deployment, autonomous agents, multi-agent workflows, visual AI generation, AI-assisted software development, data analysis automation, content production, and the ethics of automation. Every chapter includes working code in Python, JavaScript, Java, C#, and HTML, so you can apply what you read immediately. The final chapter looks ahead to 2027, helping you build systems flexible enough to survive the next wave of models.
