AI slop. You will hear some buzzwords and learn nothing.

What did you want to learn that I didn’t mention?

That's the problem. You mentioned everything, but didn't really explain much at all. That's typical when you just prompt an AI to create a presentation. It does these handwaving overviews.

I could have explained certain things better than I did, that is partially due to being rusty after 6 months of not making videos. I’ll try to do better next time.

You cover all of that in a 10 minute video? Which means you cover none of that.
