I want to honestly share my experience and expectations since joining this AI committee.
I joined because I genuinely want to learn and build with AI, especially by collaborating with others, sharing tools, ideas, and practical knowledge. I’ve been learning AI on my own for a while, but it hasn’t been easy not because AI tools aren’t valuable, but simply because I don’t always have the financial capacity to pay for many of them.
Sometimes I struggle so much that I even have to swap emails multiple times just to access certain tools that help me build. So my hope in joining this committee was to find people who are learning together, experimenting together, and helping each other grow not just people offering paid services.
To be honest, some people who reached out to “help” didn’t even try to understand the problem before asking for money. It felt like taking a car to a mechanic, and instead of checking what’s wrong, they immediately say, “Pay me $500 and I’ll fix everything,” without even opening the car.
I believe an AI committee should be a space where:
• We learn AI together
• Share useful free or affordable tools
• Troubleshoot problems collaboratively
• Help each other understand how to build, not just sell solutions
Paid services are not wrong but learning, collaboration, and genuine support should come first. That’s the main reason I joined, and I believe many others might feel the same.
I’m sharing this to encourage a more open, learning-focused, and supportive AI community for all of us.
