The Mirror that Speaks
Understanding ChatGPT
This is the cover of my newest book entitled "The Mirror That Speaks." I actually spent weeks dialoging with Chat GPT, asking it hundreds of questions as to how it works. The book is 332 pages of easy-to-read ChatGPT information covering a myriad of AI issues. AI, as seen in ChatGPT and other simular programs, are not what you think they are. I found it can be extremely useful, when channeled correctly. It can also be harmful to the unexpected. It just went to Amazon KDP today for publishing and should be online by Monday. If you want to understand how it works, this is the book for you.
This is not a technical manual. It is a dialogue that evolved between me and ChatGPT.
If you are holding this book, chances are you have heard of ChatGPT—but maybe you’re not quite sure what it is, how it works, or whether it’s meant for people like you. Perhaps the flood of AI talk sounds more like science fiction than something valuable in your daily life.
That is precisely why I wrote this book.
When ChatGPT came along, I didn’t dismiss it. I sat down with it, asked questions, and listened.
And it surprised me.
When approached with curiosity and clarity, ChatGPT can be far more than a tool. It can partner in thinking, writing, organizing, and imagining. In this book, you’ll see what happens when someone who has spent decades teaching others how to understand machines decides to engage with a machine that responds in its own way.
This is not a hype piece. It's not a sales pitch. You won’t learn how to make a million dollars with AI. You will find warmth, humor, and honesty. I don’t shy away from ChatGPT’s weaknesses. We talk about where it fails, what it doesn’t know, how it can mislead, and why it should never be blindly trusted. We also explore the risks of AI—how it might change society, reshape jobs, and create new dangers we’re only beginning to understand.
But we also look forward.
This book invites you to approach AI confidently without fear and to understand it not as a threat but as a new kind of tool—a tool that learns from your tone, adapts when you speak with clarity, and becomes a remarkably useful companion with the right questions.
Whether you’re a writer, a business owner, a lifelong learner, or just someone curious about the world we’re heading into, this book is for you.
It’s never too late to learn, to ask better questions, or to start a real conversation with the future.
