AI + Passion - Hype. Jump Aboard!

Unless you’ve somehow slept through the past couple of years, you’ll know that generative AI is now everywhere.

Unfortunately, so is the endless AI hype.

That’s why I’m here.

My goal is to skip the breathless marketing bullshit and share practical AI tools and tips for regular people without a technical background.

People like you and me.

“Who dis?”

I'm Daniel.

I have a face:

I can’t code. I’m not a visual artist. And I don’t produce music.

But generative AI lets me code simple games, get creative with images, experiment with text-to-music tools, and test AI video models.

I started Why Try AI to help others get into this space in a no-nonsense, practical way.

I focus on AI news, tips, and tools that:

• Are instantly usable by the average person

• Have little to no learning curve

• Are cheap or free to use

“What type of content will I get?”

What I write tends to fall into the following categories:

• Hands-on tips you can implement right away (example)

• Beginner-friendly tools, sites, and apps to check out (example)

• AI news that are relevant to individual users rather than businesses or the wider industry (example)

I look for tips, sites, and tools that a casual user can easily figure out.

“How often will I get emails?”

I send out two emails a week:

• Thursdays:

  • Why Try AI, where I typically dive into a single topic.

• Sundays:

  • Sunday Rundown, where I catch you up on the week’s developments.

If that schedule changes in the future, I’ll make sure to announce it.

“Is it free?”

Almost all of it, yes!

Thursday posts are free for everyone.

Sunday columns contain a free “News” segment and a paid “Sunday Bonus” segment.

Paid subscribers also get lots of other cool perks.
