Give a Man a Fish

AI can give you an answer. Can it help you become a better thinker? In “Give a Man a Fish,” Ellen Twomey and Taylor Black explore the foundations of artificial intelligence and what they mean for everyday use. From early computing to the breakthroughs behind today’s AI tools, they unpack how we got here, then explore tools that help us think, create, and act. Along the way, they discuss generative versus agentic AI, tools you may already use without realizing it, and how AI is opening software development to people without coding experience. Grounded in Growing in Greatness’s Catholic perspective, the conversation closes with a practical challenge: use an AI tool to help you make a better decision. Bring your judgment, your curiosity, and a willingness to have your thinking challenged.
