At the risk of not sounding very clever, I have to admit it's way too fast for me

  That's the thing with these "tutorials". I remember watching one video that was "Calculus in 5 mins". It made a lot of sense, but that was after learning it, but to someone who's never been taught the topic, these might not make any sense

    It's not a binary difference between learned and untaught. Many people have taken calculus classes and probably not enjoyed any lasting insight, either because the teaching was bad, or there were too many other subjects swimming around their mind at time. Or never taken a class but developed a surface familiarity with the main ideas. These types of tutorial could be useful for them.

  These (excellent) videos made me realize that picking up AI as a hobby (which I intended) would not be a good idea in my case. There are simply too many different domains of knowledge I would have to learn about to be able to finally do something slightly useful. I neither have the time nor the brain to do this. Fascinating stuff, though.

    My thoughts exactly. There's even too much of meta-knowledge here :) Without some solid background, it's not something you can casually pick up as a hobby. But yes, as a programmer (not dealing with anything AI-related - right now it's middle-of-the-road mobile apps) I am very impressed by what deep learning proves to be capable of
