Reviews summary

Broad overview of generative ai tools

According to students, this course provides a largely positive introduction to Generative AI, offering a broad overview of popular tools. Learners particularly praise the practical insights from modules on MidJourney and GitHub Copilot. The course is noted for making complex topics accessible, making it ideal for beginners. However, some learners express concerns about superficial coverage for certain advanced topics like GPT-3 and RASA, and the OpenCV module feels somewhat out of place. Overall, it's considered a solid starting point rather than a deep dive for experts.

Ideal for new learners, less so for advanced practitioners.
