everything you learn will probably be obsolete this time next year

YouTube has just about any AI coding course you could want. I wouldn't pay unless I was totally ignorant of the technology. The most important aspect of AI is knowing your business logic.

You can use AI to teach yourself how to use AI.

You need to learn this because nobody carries around a calculator everywhere they go

My favorite thing to do when writing prompts is asking Claude how it would write a prompt that worked for what I wanted. It works great.

There is nothing out there that you can't learn yourself. These courses are revenue generators from people who have their employers pay for them for continuing education or just out of interest. Maybe if you are not a disciplined self-learner they may be good, but in all seriousness AI is a pretty open source area, all the information you need to navigate what's currently out there is readily available for free.

Just got off the call that basically said the same thing. Ask your AI what the best prompt would be for what you’re asking if you aren’t getting the results, you want

You'd be better off taking them from Coursiv. There's no need to spend college dollars on learning how to prompt.

I need to have an AI tech catch-up week. It’s moving so fast.

AI seems like this guy who used to do odd jobs for us. He was a good guy, but you had to be very specific with what you told him to do and how you told him to do it. Not being specific is how you wind up with a large limb cut off of your pecan tree with a damn hand saw.

I took the LSU course 2 years ago and it was highly beneficial as someone who knew very little about AI and prompting; however, I'm pretty sure I would have figured it all out over the last 2 years anyway. It was a crash course and I learned a lot about how AI works, its limitations, prompting strategy, how to do business plans, strategy think tank usage, and etc. Worth it since my company paid for it and has really paid for itself workflow wise. I use AI multiple times a day.
Rate it 7 out of 10.

You can learn just as much online, in AI geared forums, and by simply asking AI.

1 hr crash course on Claude. Dude built a pretty nice landing page not knowing how to write one line of HTML code
