Although I haven't seen his YT videos, he is very much hated (especially on Reddit, not sure about HN) for his shallow presentation. In fact for one comment praising him, I've found may be 50 comments condemning him. For example, see these threads - https://www.reddit.com/r/learnmachinelearning/comments/8x5n6h/lets_talk_about_siraj_raval/ https://www.reddit.com/r/learnmachinelearning/comments/8x5n6... https://www.reddit.com/r/learnmachinelearning/comments/8zk36d/deep_learning_vs_machine_learning_as_a_start/ https://www.reddit.com/r/learnmachinelearning/comments/8zk36...

I noticed that most criticsm indeed concerns "shallow presentation" and lack od deep (e.g. mathematical) analysis and explanations - and I could agree with that. But by "inspiring" I meant "getting people excited about machine learning" rather than "teaching people how to ML" - and I think he is great in that sense. Maybe "AI coach" would be relevant. His choice of topics has some "clickbait" features, but that's exactly what makes me subscribe his channel. One of my favs: [1] He also has strict educational projects like "Shool of AI", but I'm not familiar with them. 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvwBgAqrheo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvwBgAqrheo
