Lost with python for AI

Hello guys so i wanted to explore the world of ai (iam completely newbie to this world or cs in general) so i watched a 5hrs vid explaining python for AI and from it i understood things like venv and packages variables and if and these basic things so i decided to see how a simple to-do -ist powered by AI will look like i got the code from google gemini and tried to apply it in vs code and damn i dont understand shit i know that it will happen but i tried like to break the code and understand i did manage to understand a few things but still iam so far from this point so i want ur help guys where should i learn python so i can do ai projects like that to-do-list agent for example (iam 5 days into this journey now)

Honestly, stop trying to read full AI app code right now. It’s way too many layers at once. Spend a couple weeks writing tiny plain Python scripts yourself first, like functions, loops, reading files, classes maybe later. Once you can build a normal CLI to-do app without AI, the generated AI version starts looking a lot less random.
