The content of this course is incredibly simple to the point of uselessness, it is essentially stating that generative AI exists and listing a bunch of example models. It lists endless use cases, many of which are highly questionable (using synthetic data to train predictive models for instance) and the exercises are mostly guiding you step by step through opening chatGPT and writing a prompt or similar. Most of the quiz question essentially boil down to "what kind of tool would you use to generate an image": 1. An image generator. 2. A text generator. This course is included as part of the Generative AI for Data Scientists Specialization, but I would strongly recommend any Data Scientists thinking of taking this Specialization to at least skip this course and for something more useful.

Good content and very informative. Would have been better if some of the interactives worked properly and the speaker on the videos talked a bit slower; it was rushed.

A good introduction to the capabilities of generative AI, I recommend this to anyone that is curious or interested in the subject of generative AI and its real world applications

Would give it 0 if it was a choice... Really low quality AI generated content. Have you ever read a textbook that was nothing but lists of facts with no background, context, story, or anything? Now imagine if it was read to you by an AI voice. That's exactly what you would get. Some of the knowledge is there, however, there are so many mistakes and inconsistencies... This course would benefit from actual interviews of people discussing HOW and which tools they used in Generative AI in their field than just listing a giant laundry list of apps. Also, it feels like they are trying so hard to put IBM's WatsonX tool up there and keep pushing IBMs other tools, which aren't really seen as industry leaders in the GenAI field. Honestly this course was such a disappointment and waste of time. I don't recommend it to anyone unless they fix these things, make it more engaging, and actually teach people how to use the tools.

I appreciated the thoroughness and attention to details from this course. I learned a great deal of concepts and tools, especially in Lesson three Glossary.

This is a great, comprehensive introduction to generative AI and the media it affects.

I definitely appreciated that this didn't cover just text-to-image tools. I feel that even if someone is not new to AI, they might do something during this course that they haven't done before.

A very comprehensive & a must take for even those who want a quick knowledge about the whole world of Generative AI in a matter of hours.

The information in the class is really helpful. However, the narrator talks VERY fast like he is just reading from a script. People creating a class need to realize that others will be hanging on every word and need to speak slowly. I had to turn down the speed of the narration just to keep up with notes.

dont like the way the videos are narrated.. it may as well be an AI reading slides. It is a breathless wall of bullet points read at breakneck speed. I am looking for a generative AI program that feels more like it is being taught by a human.

The pace is fast. I can see they used AI tools for voice. While content is good for complete beginners, the recording is very fast even for knowledgable folks.

Nothing useful

Signed up for Applied AI and suddenly IBM and Coursera decided to update the program to AI Developer program. Thumbs down, I only committed my time for 7 courses, but now you added 3 more courses and I can't continue anymore. Wasted my time big time!

Too much overview of too many of the systems and tools for GEN AI which made it hard to know what to focus on in preparation for the test.

This course “Generative AI: Introduction and Applications” offers comprehensive and insightful content, clearly defining and executing its objectives. It effectively distinguishes generative AI from discriminative AI and provides real-world examples showcasing its transformative potential across various sectors. Additionally, the course offers in-depth exploration and hands-on experience with generative AI models and tools for text, code, image, audio, and video generation, making it valuable for professionals seeking to drive innovation and for individuals to get a good understanding of this emerging technology. - R( for R Scott (Netsations)

The course is brilliantly structured for both beginners and seasoned professionals. The content is delivered through engaging, easy-to-digest modules, complemented by practical, hands-on projects that solidify learning and demonstrate real-world applications. The instructors are experts in their fields and provide invaluable insights. With flexible scheduling and a supportive online community, this course is a fantastic resource for anyone looking to delve into the world of generative AI. It has truly broadened my understanding and sparked further interest in AI technologies. A resounding five stars!

This course efficiently teaches the knowledge necessary for practically engaging in data science by utilizing generative AI. It allows you to broadly understand what is possible. Although it is a very simple approach, I believe that the foundational content is effective for further knowledge. Additionally, by leveraging tools to lower the learning barrier, it is very well designed for those who want to step up their game at the moment they acquire the knowledge.

Upskill with IBM Generative AI - introduction and applications. This is the skill you need for the future. Great course - rich content. This course proved a great introduction into the world of AI. I have used Generative AI prior to this course. On my successful completion I can confirm I was under utilizing generative AI. Understanding AI is the key to optimizing your productivity.

I’m so grateful for the excellence, well-crafted and clearly delivered career-oriented course with the practice projects you have offered. I also would like to express gratitude to the Cousera team for a great platform with the AI grading. Even though I like it, I also like the peer review as it offers me the opportunities to see different approaches.

The informational content provided in the videos on AI was extensive, covering a broad range of topics. However, some of the videos were delivered at a fast pace, and it felt like they were primarily created to mention various tools without delving deeper into their functionalities or applications.

Hola, excelente curso donde se aprende sobre la IA Generativa en su enfoque a la introducción y aplicación de la misma donde puede imitar el pensamiento y la creatividad humana para crear contenido novedoso y realizar tareas complejas. Gracias a todo el equipo de COURSERA.

Great information for an AI introductory course. Vast tools are introduced for various purposes. However, it'll take awhile to remember which tool work best for a particular purpose (you'll find it a hard way if you don't remember them when come the quizzes/exams :-))

IBM's Generative AI is a powerful course with a broad range of applications, from creating text, images, and music to more complex tasks like code generation and data analysis. It's an excellent resource for students looking to explore creative and technical fields.

Very good course. I gained a lot of knowledge without it getting too technical. And learned a good amount of new info from the examples and labs where I practiced using a bunch of new tools I wasn’t aware of. Just about anyone would benefit from taking this course.
