Teaching yourself Some AI

While ChatGPT can explain concepts, generate codes, and solve coding issues, it cannot understand the material for you. Understanding comes from struggling through problems, asking questions, and developing an intuition. Use ChatGPT as a guide, not a substitute for your own learning. Think of learning as similar to learning to play the piano. ChatGPT can give you hints, replace Google searches, and explain concepts, but it can’t do the work of rewiring your brain to become a great pianist. Only consistent practice, revisiting materials, and putting in the effort can teach you the skill. 

Talking about learning, the following are good resources to learn AI. I know it is tempting to watch a youtube video and move to the next topic, but it is important to take the courses, solve the homework and try to develop a deep understanding. You are not taking the course for a grade, but for deeper learning (pun intended). I have met many people who talk about ML like it is magic and even use it without understanding the basics of the inner workings of an ML algorithm. Given my ties to Stanford university, I am leaning toward resources from there.

1. Machine Learning (CS229) taught by Andrew Ng of Stanford University:  course  website, Videos on Youtube

2. Deep Learning (CS230) taught by Andrew Ng of Stanford University:  course website, videos. This course combines 5 courses of DL and it is detailed, with two hours a day, you might need 2-3 months to finish the course. 

3. Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition (CS231n) taught by Fei-Fei Li of Stanford University: Link to the course website, Link to videos on youtube 

4. Natural Language Processing with Deep Learning (CS224n) taught by Chris Manning of Stanford University: Link to the course, Link to videos on Youtube  

5. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Coursera link  

6. The Computer science department at Stanford University offers a lot of good courses, have a look at the courses here
