Strange question. If you don’t know why you need this, you probably don’t. It will be the same as with the introductory AI course you did 20 years ago.

Well, no ... For a start any "AI" course 20 years ago probably wouldn't have even mentioned neural nets, and certainly not as a mainstream technique.

A 20yr old "AI" curriculum would have looked more like the 3rd edition of Russel & Norvig's "Artificial Intelligence - A Modern Approach".

Karpathy's videos aren't an AI (except in modern sense of AI=LLMs) course, or a machine learning course, or even a neural network course for that matter (despite the title) - it's really just "From Zero to LLMs".
