Stuck in tutorial hell. Tips anyone?

Hey! So, I'm new to AI development. I'm stuck in what's called 'tutorial hell'. I keep doing these tutorials one after the other, but at the end, it just feels like I'm not learning anything :

How do I get out of this? Any tips? Thanks in advance!

Mate, been there. Can feel like running in circles. The key is to start applying what you learn. Start a project - anything. Just a small one. Can be something as easy as a simple bot or even a text generator. When u get stuck, then u go back to the tutorials. It's ok to struggle a bit. That's where the real learning is. BTW, hmu if u need help :)

What you're experiencing is not uncommon for beginners. I advise you weave in practical coding sessions between tutorial learning. Learn a concept from a tutorial, then immediately put it into a real-life coding situation. This approach will enhance the learning curve. Also, join forums, ask questions, interact with the community; it'll make a difference. Good luck!

Haha, tutorial hell, I like that! Tbh, you're overthinking it dude. Best bet is just start your own project, could be anything you're interested in. When you hit a wall, only then go look up a tutorial for it.

Honestly dude, chill. Seems like you're in a hurry to get somewhere. It's not a race. It's more about understanding the journey, and less about speeding through tutorials. Begin with something small, don't rush. Enjoy the process of learning.

It sounds like you may be lacking in structured learning. Tutorials are fantastic for learning specific tasks or elements, but they can be overwhelming without an overall framework. Have you considered joining a structured course? Many online platforms provide self-paced courses that could be beneficial. Also, developing your own projects, even small ones, can significantly enhance your understanding and skills.

Oh, the old 'tutorial hell'. If it's tough maybe AI dev just isn’t your thing. It's for thinkers and problem solvers. No offence. Perhaps a different pathway is better for you?
