Cutting Hallucinations, Making the Most of AI with Your Fitness Data, and 15 Prompts to Replace Your Contractors
What AI Literacy Looks Like in 2025: Check These 6 Boxes, and You're Well on Your WayMy earliest experience with generative AI was in 2022. An AI writer called @copysmith_ai wowed me at its ability to write coherent blog posts in seconds. I added another tool called Jasper shortly thereafter. Needless to say, my days writing cheap, crappy, annoying SEO articles for money were numbered. And while both were impressive, and, I assume, remain distinguishable in the sea of 41,545 AI tools listed on @theresanaiforit, they were but a starting point for where this technology would end up. Earlier this week, I used Sora 2 from @OpenAI to create a 30-second supercut of the Moses Red Sea parting that looks better than any Hollywood movie has ever been able to pull off. I did it all with text-to-video and iMovie. ![]() I could not have done this three years ago, even though I felt my understanding of the tools was "advanced." That's because AI literacy, like regular literacy, changes as rapidly as the tools themselves. And if you're not keeping up with those changes, you will fall behind. So, with that said, what does AI literacy look like in 2025? Let's have a look.
