I needed a website for my upcoming book, AI Made Simple, but there was one small problem.

I’m not a web designer.

So I asked Claude to help me build a clean, professional landing page using the book manuscript, cover, promo video, and a few simple instructions. Then I copied the HTML into WordPress and watched the whole thing come together.

In this episode of AI for Everyone, I show you how AI can help regular people build real things, not just answer questions. If you’ve ever wanted to create a website, landing page, project page, book page, or simple online presence but felt stuck because you didn’t know where to begin, this is going to open your eyes.

I also share a first look at my upcoming book, AI Made Simple: Artificial Intelligence for Everyday Life, coming December 1, 2026 from Morgan James Publishing. The book is designed for people who feel overwhelmed, intimidated, or just plain tired of the hype around AI and want someone to explain it in a way that actually makes sense.

You can pre-order the book now and help us get it into Barnes & Noble stores.

Can artificial intelligence beat humans at Scrabble?
That’s what we wanted to find out.

In this episode of AI for Everyone, Erin and I put AI to the test in a classic word game. The results? Let’s just say the computer didn’t exactly dominate the board.

AI can write essays, create art, compose music, and help people brainstorm ideas… but when it comes to playing Scrabble, things get interesting.

Along the way, we discovered something surprising about how AI actually “thinks” about language—and why some things that seem simple for humans can still confuse even the smartest systems.

More importantly, this experiment highlights a bigger idea: AI isn’t just about productivity tools and technical workflows. It can also be playful, creative, and a lot of fun to explore.

If you’ve ever wondered what AI can really do—and what it still struggles with—this episode might surprise you.

And if you enjoy watching humans defeat machines in board games… well, you’re definitely going to enjoy this one.

I’ve got a confession.

I always wanted to be good at painting.

Back in my 20s, I used to watch Bob Ross on PBS. I bought the brushes. The easel. The paints. I hit pause on the VCR and tried to copy every happy little tree.

And… let’s just say my mountains weren’t exactly majestic.

Fast forward a few decades.

Now we have AI.

So I decided to run an experiment:
What happens if I feed my amateur paintings into AI and ask it to turn them into masterpieces?

Would it make them look like Bob Ross painted them?
Could it turn one into something Monet might have created?
Would it elevate my abstract art into something “museum worthy”?

And more importantly…

If AI improves my art… is it still mine?

This episode isn’t just about paint on canvas.
It’s about creativity.
Ego.
Talent.
And the uncomfortable question:

Does AI make us better — or does it quietly replace us?

You’ll see the before.
You’ll see the after.
And you can decide for yourself.

Which version would YOU hang in your home?
