Is AI hard to learn?

Short answer: no. Not because you are clever, but because the hard-sounding part was never the point.

The fear is manufactured

AI is usually explained by people who want to sound impressive: connectors, plug-ins, parameters, context windows. Ten seconds in, you have already decided it is not for you. That is a failure of the explaining, not of you.

What you actually need to learn

Three things, and none are technical. What these helpers are good at. Where they quietly go wrong. And how to ask so you get something useful. That is it. Everything else is detail you can pick up as you go.

It is a reading skill, not a coding skill

Using AI well is mostly about how you ask and how you follow up — plain writing, plain thinking. If you can hold a conversation, you already have the core of it.

You are not behind

The whole thing is only a few years old for ordinary people. The people who seem ahead just started a little sooner. An evening with a kind explanation closes most of that gap.
