The course was good but the quiz questions could have been better, they seem to be not in depth and the multiple choice options seem to just be playing on a attribute matrices of a keyword.

The initial information was very helpful in learning the basics of generative AI. The last few minutes of the course felt more like a sales-pitch for Google products than an educational piece.
