I've been programming for like 5 years now and never even attempted anything AI/ML related
Get to it then
Going to be starting computer science in a few weeks. I feel like AI/ML is something you want an experienced teacher for instead of botching something together
I learned ML most by tinkering with it myself. A lot of stuff went over my head when my teacher explained it.
That username does not check out.
Unironically sound advice!
Yea, I agree. I think basically every programmer should at least dabble in subjects that they aren't doing. It has helped me quite a bit with my projects.
Same. I know my limits lol
Unless you're dead set on doing everything yourself, it's pretty easy to get into.
It's not as bad as you might think if you have a specific goal in mind. My scope is mainly scripts and automation (python) for data analysis and productivity.
My boss was curious about market basket analysis so I spent an afternoon following along with a tutorial and researching and got the data I needed by EOD. Most of that time was cleaning up the input data and troubleshooting because it was a huge data set.
