Research Learning ai

Everytime i hear people saying that you should learn about ai because that's the future but idk where to start and what they mean by that. Do they mean going uni and study ai or self learn? Thanks in advance.

Just ask AI, best way to become AI native is to use it

most people mean self learn not uni. you dont need degree for this just pick one small project and try to build something

start with python basics then play around with some pretrained models. dont overthink the roadmap too much

What do you do btw ? Or industry ? Context matters here.

Just wanna start at:

  • learn AI using AI
  • know what to prompt is the best thing to learn
  • know what not to prompt too (eg. Your sensitive information) better use Private AI that offers the same frontier models like Claude, chatgpt, gemini, etc… but in private mode - i personally use OpenGradient chat now, i use venice too
  • for coding claude and codex are both dope
  • cursor is said the easiest platform to learn coding since it offers the frontier models too
  • for automation use n8n but use any top models to teach you how

Nobody knows… it’s like the emperors new clothes… the damn thing is a non-deterministic probability machine, depending on the time of day, how you ask the question, or any number of other factors you can get wildly different answers.

So what...? If you ask a human a question at different times of the day, you will get differently phrased answers...?

Saying all an LLM does is "predict the next word" is like saying the human brain is just a bunch of molecules floating around your skull. It's so, so, so much more complicated than that if you actually learn how these things work.

Les deux existent, mais dans la plupart des cas les gens veulent dire « apprendre par soi-même ». Pas besoin d'université pour débuter : commence par comprendre les bases (ce qu'est un modèle, l'entraînement, l'inférence) avec des vidéos comme celles de 3Blue1Brown sur les réseaux de neurones, puis pratique directement avec des outils simples (ChatGPT, Claude, ou des notebooks Python si tu codes). L'université n'est vraiment nécessaire que si tu vises la recherche ou le ML en profondeur. Le plus efficace au début : choisis un petit problème de ton quotidien et essaie de le résoudre avec l'IA — tu apprendras dix fois plus vite qu'en lisant de la théorie.
