Are AI courses mostly a waste of time?

2•lock-locku•2h ago
Serious question: are most AI courses just a comfortable way to feel like you're learning? I spent months going through courses, videos, and tutorials… and still couldn’t build anything useful. Then I started building small, messy projects and learned more in weeks than in months. Recently I’ve been using nexskillai.com, and what stood out is how much it pushes you to actually apply things instead of just consuming content.

It made me question how effective most courses really are. Curious how others feel Did courses actually help you build real things, or just understand concepts? For context, I’m a mid-level AI specialist, and even then this shift surprised me.

They’re a waste of time in my opinion with how rapidly this space is evolving. You’re better off spending your time building with these tools and learning with hands-on projects.
