not technical and honestly scared, is it too late for me to start learning this to stay employable

i work in insurance ops, mid 40s, and every meeting now has someone dropping ai stuff i dont follow. im not looking to become a programmer, i just dont want to be the person who got left behind because they were too intimidated to open the thing. is there a realistic on-ramp for someone like me or is that ship gone for people who arent already technical. i argue in good faith here, im not doom posting, i genuinely want to know where a non-coder even starts without wasting six months on the wrong stuff

youre not too late, i promise. i started 2 years ago knowing nothing and i still remember how scary the wall looked. the thing that helped was picking one real task i already did every week and just making the ai do that one thing. dont try to learn 'ai', learn one useful trick. youll be fine.

the pick one real task you already do thing is the actual answer here imo. iirc thats also the only way i stopped bouncing off it. throughputthea if youre reading, you already know the task, just make the ai do that one
