Just saw a google ad for a course that charges $49 a month to teach you how to use AI. I screnshot the ad, fed it into Gemini and Muse and heres a full course for free! Have at it!

Discussion overview

The tiny thread is less interested in whether a paid AI course deserves its subscription price than in whether the promised free alternative is actually reachable. One reader reports that the shared course link fails even from the United States, while another confirms it works from Indiana, suggesting a flaky or region- and session-dependent delivery rather than a universally broken resource. A further warning that the link may disappear within a day turns the giveaway into a short-lived opportunity rather than a durable replacement for paid instruction.

Still, the available response is warmly positive. Commenters treat an open chat interface as the practical core of AI learning: start asking questions and learn by doing, rather than paying for packaged beginner material. One participant says the resource fills an immediate need exactly, and frames the exchange as the kind of peer-to-peer discovery that makes online communities valuable. There is no substantive debate over Gemini or Muse’s model quality, curriculum accuracy, or whether AI-generated lessons can match expert teaching. The enthusiasm is therefore about free access and hands-on experimentation, tempered by basic availability problems.

Points of disagreement

The only real split is whether the free AI course is usable in practice. Supporters see it as an immediately helpful, no-cost way to begin learning through direct prompting; skeptics point out that an inaccessible or rapidly expiring link cannot reliably replace a paid course.
