"easier tasks" is arguable and arguably wrong
"task about which you will find more easy-looking tutorials hiding the complexity under a blanket of 3rd party code and services" is better
"task about which you will find more easy-looking tutorials hiding the complexity under a blanket of 3rd party code and services" is better
detecting birds is an exercise in gathering properly labeled training sets, neural networks and their topologies, matrix multiplication performance and/or orchestration of rented GPUs.
both of which cover interesting tasks, worthy things to learn, and are by no means easy.
"easy" is the bird recognition where you do an API call to a totem pole of third party services.
