I Don’t Know If I’m “Using AI” Correctly…But I Know This Works
Okay. I’ll admit it—I still don’t really know what AI is.
I mean, I hear about it in the news. My nephew once explained it to me using a sandwich analogy, and I nodded a lot. But I don’t code. I don’t install software. And the last time I tried to download a plug-in, I accidentally changed my default language to Spanish.
So, when someone told me to try this Wunderlaken thing, I was skeptical. Like… is this going to break my computer skeptical.
But here’s the thing: I am not a techy person. I just opened a browser, followed the copy/paste instructions, and now I have a super useful Wunderlaken thread.
It helps me dream up ideas faster than I ever have. Class project ideas. Newsletter intros. Parent emails. Even conversation prep for that student who pushes all the wrong buttons.
Truth be told, I don’t know if I’m “using AI.”
I just know that when I use Wunderlaken, I come up with polished ideas fast.
And I feel great about what I come up with.
So now, when I have to put on my “thinking cap,” I make sure to involve my Wunderlaken thread. It’s my new springboard. Not just because it gives me ideas—but because it adds purpose and clarity.
Fun bonus: it doesn’t roll its eyes when I can’t explain myself perfectly.
So…yeah…I may not be fluent in tech-speak…
But I recognize when something makes my life a little easier, my ideas a little sharper, and my heart feel a little more full.
I love this thing.
