Seriously, hats off to Jeff for going through the work of watching, learning and then summarising i.e. the lengthy work and putting it into a FREE video for us.

Bro, not gonna lie, whenever I start watching your videos, I press the like first and then switch to full screen.

Absolutely spot on! Most beginners jump into AI without understanding the foundational concepts, which can lead to confusion. When I first started, I was completely overwhelmed by all the jargon and complex models.

It’s like trying to tell a joke and realizing you’ve missed the punchline—awkward! I joined the Sense of Humor Improvement Program by Habit10x, and it taught me that clarity and timing are just as important in humor as they are in learning AI. Keep pushing through the basics; it’ll pay off in the long run!

One of very few YouTubers that you laugh and learn at the same time. Thank you Jeff!

Just to addon, for Jeff at min 3 mark, for the coursera on project management : good book to add on to learn along the way, Getting better At anything book, by Scott h Young, . And then learning to explain, using Jeff’s earlier consultant AI prompt examples, but output to MECE for learning, folks will excel faster on generating ideas on using tools given out .


Literally, [ defining your problem space ] or [ area of engagement] first and dive fairly deep but board topics, helps most folks on their respective fields. Simple, concise yet contains overall sub - ideas of a topic helps tremendously

Mr. Su, my respect. These productions are top quality. Thank you for all you do.

Just to let you know, perfect source start for neural networks is 3 (good academic docs exists about it) so the good prompt is to request Perplexity act like 3 experts (as persons) describing the titles or skills in years of those experts and finally request to unify a consensual answer by the experts. You could explain that there is an existing AI based in static information (like RAG) but there is a good trend in AI an is gonna be EDA, is like a RAG but using real time information, a good example is Splunk in F1, that solution applies AI inference based on real time telemetry of the car (that’s why they will win current F1 championship as constructors).

Your ability to explain a complex topic into a more digestible content is a genius talent. As a teacher, Im taking notes.

For someone in his mid fifties this was very helpful. I have no problem using the tech I just don't have patience for the specific learning curve. You made it a bit easier. Thank you. Like given.

Not surprising the Google course apparently doesn't highlight legal risks of using AI.
1. Writing prompts is external communication. If you use trade secrets or proprietary code in your prompts, you've just violated your company's NDA.
2. Generative AI has unknown copyrights. What you get back was trained on data with mixed copyrights. You'll have no idea if a response was pulled from a source that could lend you (or your company) into big legal trouble. Future refined AI technology will be much better at finding those violations, so it could happen years later.

Big respect to Jeff for putting in the effort to break down all that content. That’s some serious dedication!

[StayCURIOUSWithUs]

Hey Jeff..

Just come over your channel and must say, your work on the videos is impressive.

But also very tidy and easy to understand. Well spoken and direct.

Greatings from a new subscriber... 🇸🇯

[BertHeymans]

Jeff, I learned more from this video than I did from the Google course. I get that they are your sponsor but, few ... the extremely low information to noise ratio in that trainwreck of a Google commercial disguised as a course that is Google AI Essentials. Thank goodness Coursera lets you watch at X2.

[peter-davidvanderstraat]

Really well done and thank you Jeff... You have taken such a vaguely understood topic and made it understandable for me that has little time for these answers.

[artistlianesangollo]

you are very good and thank you for your time making it so easier

[Veteran_Nerd]

I laughed at the One Piece prompt 🤣
I see you are a man of culture 😎

[annemariehro]

Loved this video! I'm ready to enlist in the Google Project Management course :) Thank you for sharing all this info with us and being so cool about everything. Loved the OP prompt in Midjourney, btw. Glad to know you are a man of culture 😁

[DanteVelasquez]

I love your humor and enthusiasm in delivering this valuable information 🙂

It's annoying to see so many companies remarket basic algorithms as AI. Both due to it being misleading, but also due to the large negative stigma around generative AI and it's uses in destroying creative mediums like music and art. Shooting themselves in the foot.
