From Consuming to Creating: Learn AI by Working on It

The Internet is filled with many, many sources for learning AI, un-realistic expectations about AI, and also un-realistic pessimism. It may seem impossible to get a non-partisan outlook and understanding from this ocean of content (not to mention the presence of fake AI-generated text, AI-generated video, and AI-generated audio). However, there is one way to get a much richer, more nuanced, and in-depth understanding of AI, and that's by working on it. You might be thinking, that's ridiculous, I can't just learn AI so easily. You can't learn how to build production-ready AI models today, but you can learn the basics very fast. If you have a few months of spare time, there are great ways to get a more in-depth understanding of AI, but this is for you to be able to understand the space better.
