Very well documented, dynamic and entertaining. Short videos make it easy to follow. Perhaps some of the video quality could be improved but a good effort overall.

Particularly interesting and enriching. It is a short course with very short videos that only keep the essentials. It's thought-provoking and well-explained, even for beginners.

Interesting but outdated and too much biased on AI regulation upon the fear of possibilities, that don't even exists. Clearly most of the content is directed for non-technical people that don't understand how these big models really works and it is strongly biased to the apocalypse and government intervention side of things. Even though, it has interesting discussions and provides good insights about how to use the emerging technology.
