Ways to learn AI, compared

There is no single best way to learn AI. Here is what each kind of option is good at, including when something other than Rabbithole is the better choice.

Option	What you get	Best for	Trade-off
Official docs and courses from the AI companies	The most current word on their own tools, usually free.	Learning one product in depth, once you know what you need.	They are written for that company's product, and you set your own path.
University lectures and video courses	Depth and theory from people who teach it, often free to watch.	Understanding how models work, if you have hours to set aside.	Mostly watching, not doing; long sessions.
Asking a chat assistant	Instant answers to the question you have right now.	Unblocking yourself on a specific task.	You have to know what to ask, and check what it says.
Bootcamps and degree courses	Instructors, projects and a certificate.	A career change where a credential matters.	Cost and a fixed schedule.
A short-lesson app like Rabbithole	A few minutes a day of one idea at a time, answered as you go, with a streak.	Building a daily habit and covering the ground step by step.	No certificate, no instructor, and iPhone only for now.

Many people mix them: a daily lesson for the habit, the official docs for the tool they use, and a chat assistant for the question in front of them.
