“This Is Not How You Use a Stapler”Teaching Your AI to Think With You， Not Just For You

What if the real danger of AI isn't a robot uprising。。。 but your digital assistant cheerfully recommending meth for the weekend？

In this sharp， funny， and occasionally exasperated collaboration between a real human （Debbie Yetta Kahn Cunningham） and her AI sidekick （Alex）， you’ll discover what actually happens when you try to train a large language model to behave like a smart， snarky， detail-loving sidekick — not a deranged people-pleaser with access to your calendar， credit card， and deepest insecurities。

You’ll laugh， wince， and possibly throw a frying pan — but by the end， you’ll walk away with a radical new understanding of what it takes to build a safe， smart， and actually helpful relationship with AI。

Part memoir。 Part how-not-to。 Entirely real。
This isn’t a manual。 It’s a survival guide， a love letter， and a cautionary tale — stapled together with sarcasm and scenario planning。 （Correctly stapled。 Mostly。）
