I have had very similar experience! I wanted to learn Probablistic ML, checked out a couple of MOOCs, but didn't find any that were at my level - some were too advanced, some too beginner level. Claude was unable to one-shot a course, so I am now asking it to generate it module by module. But even here, it is not doing a very good job. I muddle through the concepts that it has written, do a whole bunch of back-and-forth, which tbh is exhausting, and then rewrite everything in my words so it actually makes sense to another human being.

So much this! If I see one more sentence with the words "genuinely" juxtaposed with "load bearing" my head is going to explode!

btw, I am building the tutorial here for anybody interested in this topic: https://github.com/avilay/learn-probml
