Making Sense of AI
So you haven’t got time to read through hefty books about the AI industry. You’ve had fun with image generators, and you find chatbots useful although occasionally alarming.

It's important, when you're making graphs, to think about the story you want to tell with the data, and what type of graph, and what features of the graph, will help you tell that story.
