Google has started a video series on machine learning and I can understand it

The videos are neat but kind of minimal. Is it odd for me to feel uncomfortable and skeptical of this series because of the title? Google has clearly figured out how to market this video, since the &quot;I&quot; changes but the message is the same every time:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;programming&#x2F;comments&#x2F;4eyyhm&#x2F;google_has_started_a_new_video_series_teaching&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;programming&#x2F;comments&#x2F;4eyyhm&#x2F;google_...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;coding&#x2F;comments&#x2F;4f1p35&#x2F;google_has_started_a_video_series_on_machine&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;coding&#x2F;comments&#x2F;4f1p35&#x2F;google_has_s...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;MachineLearning&#x2F;comments&#x2F;4f07rp&#x2F;google_has_started_a_new_video_series_teaching&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;MachineLearning&#x2F;comments&#x2F;4f07rp&#x2F;goo...</a><p>The last one is actually the OP it seems, and each video is a good chunk apart in time posted. Not sure what to make of it, I just don&#x27;t like it when a title like this is the exact same but is made to seem like it was genuinely written by the person who posted it.

Keep in mind, that these videos don&#x27;t teach you any machine learning. They teach you how to use programs, which perform machine learning for you.

I think they&#x27;ve done a good job of simplifying things to the point where the viewer feels not only that ML is useful, but it&#x27;s achievable.<p>There are a lot of people who have been forward thinking enough to see the value and incorporate this into their ideas, but there are so many more who think it&#x27;s a magical black box that has no relevancy to their world.<p>While some might feel like this is too simple, I think this kind of basic introduction is very powerful.

Amazing video, can&#x27;t wait for the next one!<p>I have written my hello world algorithm, and I&#x27;m very happy about it =)<p>I have been meaning to start learning this stuff for a long time, but it&#x27;s really hard, most of the resources are above the level I&#x27;m currently at.<p>This is so amazing to see an accessible course like this, I really hope they will keep it up. It would be a really fun thing to focus on it during this summer.

Thanks for sharing this, been planning to get into Machine learning this year.
