I thought at first I was not interested in learning 🤖AI, because I wanted to focus on making more practice and learn better Js and React💪🏽. But to get my 📜 Front End Certification I had to complete this course, which took me longer because I wasn't motivated, but in the end, was a really good experience and knowledge that I can attach to my CV. For everyone, who is interested in knowing more about AI is a really good course, but be sure that you know all the basics before.
