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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 :-))

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.

Updated to the current versions of ChatGPT. Great overview of what’s possible and an excellent selection of specialized LLM applications for various purposes. Loved the exercises. It would be nice if LLaMA were mentioned as well.
