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.

Feels like the course was written by ChatGPT, not very engaging and very surface level - only took this course as part of the IBM Generative AI Specialization
