This book sounds interesting and while it may have some added value its mostly the author promoting their own AI-educational product and the majority of the book is simply chatessages between different users and the AI they use.

As a cognitive psychologist and a scientist, I found the book rally insightfull and helpful in understanding how predictions are/should be made in the context of policies and social sciences and Humanities. The book introduces also some useful concepts from judgement, decision making and even game theory in a very beginner-friendly manner.

I am a cognitive psychologist and a neuroscientist and despite my extensive training in the field I found the book quite informative and pleasant to listen to (I had the audio version). I think some people may find it too technical at places, but for me it was a very good balance between facts and narratives. The last chapters are also very practically oriented, which many will find helpful.
