The content of this course is incredibly simple to the point of uselessness, it is essentially stating that generative AI exists and listing a bunch of example models. It lists endless use cases, many of which are highly questionable (using synthetic data to train predictive models for instance) and the exercises are mostly guiding you step by step through opening chatGPT and writing a prompt or similar. Most of the quiz question essentially boil down to "what kind of tool would you use to generate an image": 1. An image generator. 2. A text generator. This course is included as part of the Generative AI for Data Scientists Specialization, but I would strongly recommend any Data Scientists thinking of taking this Specialization to at least skip this course and for something more useful.

Would give it 0 if it was a choice... Really low quality AI generated content. Have you ever read a textbook that was nothing but lists of facts with no background, context, story, or anything? Now imagine if it was read to you by an AI voice. That's exactly what you would get. Some of the knowledge is there, however, there are so many mistakes and inconsistencies... This course would benefit from actual interviews of people discussing HOW and which tools they used in Generative AI in their field than just listing a giant laundry list of apps. Also, it feels like they are trying so hard to put IBM's WatsonX tool up there and keep pushing IBMs other tools, which aren't really seen as industry leaders in the GenAI field. Honestly this course was such a disappointment and waste of time. I don't recommend it to anyone unless they fix these things, make it more engaging, and actually teach people how to use the tools.

Good content and very informative. Would have been better if some of the interactives worked properly and the speaker on the videos talked a bit slower; it was rushed.

A good introduction to the capabilities of generative AI, I recommend this to anyone that is curious or interested in the subject of generative AI and its real world applications

I definitely appreciated that this didn't cover just text-to-image tools. I feel that even if someone is not new to AI, they might do something during this course that they haven't done before.

Very good Into to AI, with in depth descriptions of GenAI tools and their fields of application. Hands on exercises to consolidate knowledge and create contextual text, audio and video.

Great Material, simple to learn . Will provide you with the introduction concepts of Gen AI to be applied in the framework. If you like tech. You will find it very easy to digest.

I appreciated the thoroughness and attention to details from this course. I learned a great deal of concepts and tools, especially in Lesson three Glossary.

This is a great, comprehensive introduction to generative AI and the media it affects.

The information in the class is really helpful. However, the narrator talks VERY fast like he is just reading from a script. People creating a class need to realize that others will be hanging on every word and need to speak slowly. I had to turn down the speed of the narration just to keep up with notes.

A very comprehensive & a must take for even those who want a quick knowledge about the whole world of Generative AI in a matter of hours.

dont like the way the videos are narrated.. it may as well be an AI reading slides. It is a breathless wall of bullet points read at breakneck speed. I am looking for a generative AI program that feels more like it is being taught by a human.

The pace is fast. I can see they used AI tools for voice. While content is good for complete beginners, the recording is very fast even for knowledgable folks.

Nothing useful

Signed up for Applied AI and suddenly IBM and Coursera decided to update the program to AI Developer program. Thumbs down, I only committed my time for 7 courses, but now you added 3 more courses and I can't continue anymore. Wasted my time big time!

Too much overview of too many of the systems and tools for GEN AI which made it hard to know what to focus on in preparation for the test.

No me deja continuar el curso y estoy al 91%

Este curso ha sido una experiencia enriquecedora y transformadora.

I’m so grateful for the excellence, well-crafted and clearly delivered career-oriented course with the practice projects you have offered. I also would like to express gratitude to the Cousera team for a great platform with the AI grading. Even though I like it, I also like the peer review as it offers me the opportunities to see different approaches.

Excelente curso, muy completo. Lo que más me gustó fueron los ejercicios en el laboratorio, porque te van llevando de la mano y te emociona cuando logras un producto. También me gusto la organización : teoría, entrevistas con profesionales que ya usan IA, prácticas de laboratorio y examen. Muchas gracias!!!
