Dr. Joerg Storm's post opens with an insidious sprinkle of 'performative humility,' warning us that 'Most people will spend the next few years using AI completely wrong.' It's a classic setup for self-aggrandizement, where he alone holds the golden key to AI literacy. Not to be outdone by subtlety, his 'borrowed authority' is wielded like a sledgehammer; we’re constantly reminded that Dr. Storm has credentials and followers aplenty—600k, if you're counting. Finally, in a magnum opus of 'self-promo,' he entices you to follow him for more incisive ‘AI insights,’ though they seem less insight and more infomercial. At least there’s no ambiguity about what's being sold here: the indispensable necessity of following Dr. Storm into the AI future.
The post opens with 'Most people will spend the next few years using AI completely wrong,' suggesting a slight superiority in understanding.
Dr. Joerg Storm's credentials are heavily referenced, framing the argument around personal expertise rather than content itself.
'AI literacy is becoming a real competitive skill' is an abstract statement lacking concrete evidence.
While promoting AI literacy, the post still relies on typical promotional tactics that contradict its message of clarity and structure.
'Follow me for cutting-edge AI insights' and links to newsletters highlight overt self-promotion.
'Better prompts create dramatically better results' embodies well-worn phrases without much originality.
