Thank you for the thoughtful and direct response. This is exactly the kind of grounded critique I was hoping to receive by posting here.

I fully agree with your point about the noise in this space, this is what we are trying to cut through :-).

A lot of what is marketed as “AI inspiration” is little more than buzzwords and recycled content. Your suggestion of a curated, immersive off-site experience, with hands-on workshops, industry-specific examples, and a structured learn-and-build format, is genuinely compelling. The idea of starting with interviews to assess skill levels and tailoring the programme accordingly is especially relevant for us.

If you know anyone who delivers this kind of applied AI learning in a serious and thoughtful way, I would very much appreciate an introduction.

Thanks again for the honest feedback.
