I’ve noticed a concerning trend: many “educational” videos and articles seem more focused on riding the AI hype wave than providing actual value. The creator’s understanding often seems surface-level at best. Especially on sites like YouTube, the videos seem more like “I’m making this video to demonstrate my barely-there understanding of this stuff” and less like “here’s a great step-by-step tutorial from someone who’s mastered it”.

After spending hours searching for quality resources, here’s what I’ve learned:

• Look for content creators who demonstrate real applications, not just theory.

• Quality tutorials include code samples and address common errors.

• The best resources explain WHY, not just HOW.

• The videos should conclude with a call to action you can take right now in your current role.

There’s so much buzz out there, people are dying to create content from it. So, here’s some resources I’ve found genuinely helpful:

• Tina Huang has addressed this dichotomy in a number of her videos (Agentic flow vs. actual AI agents)

• The Neuron Newsletter has also talked about this in their daily email.
