How Does Gen-AI Actually Work - Pulling back the curtain on why it seems so human
Thursday, 29 January, 2026

Generative AI often feels intelligent, personal, and proactive. So, what’s really happening behind the curtain? In this episode of CoolTimeLife, I demystify how tools like ChatGPT and Copilot really work, explaining why they can answer across so many topics, adapt to your tone, suggest next steps, and feel surprisingly human without possessing awareness or understanding. You’ll learn how generative AI is built on prediction rather than knowledge, why context and language patterns matter so much, and most importantly, how much work this actually creates – rather than takes away – from humans. Whether you’re curious, cautious, or simply mystified, this episode will give you a clear mental model for using generative AI wisely, confidently, and effectively.A full listing and descriptions of our episodes is available at https://cooltimelife.com/cooltimelife-episodes/.
