AI Noon — Naive & Curious: AI Edition

365 days. Every noon. From power user to senior AI consultant.

📖 How it all began

I asked an AI how good I am. Not out of vanity — okay, maybe a little. Out of curiosity. The answer was honest: my prompt engineering was well above average. My vibe coding impressive for a non-programmer. But — and this "but" landed hard — I wasn't an expert. I was missing the technical depth.

That was the moment. Not offended, but motivated. If an AI can tell me what I'm missing, I can learn it too. Publicly. Every day. At noon — because the important things should happen during lunch break, not on the couch in the evening.

AI Noon is my diary of this journey. 5 minutes reading, 5 minutes trying. Naive enough to ask dumb questions. Curious enough not to just accept the answers. The goal: in 365 days I want to earn the right to call myself a Senior AI Consultant — as a sociologist building the bridge between tech and society.

The trigger: FAZ AI Conference 2026 in Frankfurt. I built AI Noon live — at an AI conference, with an AI.

What I Got Wrong

Day 7. Taking stock of my mistakes. This isn't failure — it's the actual learning process. **Mistake 1: I underestimated the cost.** Vibe Coding sounds like flow, play, exploration. It doesn't sound…

The Model Lies. And Doesn't Know It.

A student sent me her seminar paper. Three perfectly formatted citations — author, year, publisher, page number. Everything looked correct. Everything was invented. The sources didn't exist. The autho…

Day 5

Prompting Is a Foreign Language

I thought at first: prompting is just Googling with more words. You type a question, the AI answers. Done. Wrong. Prompting is a language. Not programming — that has hard syntax rules and the comput…

Ubuntu: Technologie und Philosophie

## Ich bin, weil wir sind Ubuntu ist ein Wort aus dem Zulu und bedeutet sinngemäß: Ich bin, weil wir sind. Es ist eine Philosophie der Verbundenheit. Und es ist ein Betriebssystem — frei, quelloffen,…

The AI rated me

## Power user, but not an expert Today I asked Claude: How would you rate my AI skills? The answer was nuanced — and a wake-up call. **What I do well:** - Prompt engineering: well above average. I k…
