A YouTube video series by Grant Sanderson (3Blue1Brown) that visually explains how neural networks work, including how they learn through gradient descent and backpropagation. It is aimed at building intuition rather than providing hands-on coding.

Commenters recommend it as a strong visual introduction to neural networks before or alongside a more formal ML course.

   Min-max and A-B pruning probably aren't helpful if all OP wants to do is write stories. u/Afraid-Concentrate, if you have a solid math background (Linear Algebra, Calculus), I'd recommend skimming the basics of programming, and then jumping straight into an online ML Course. A couple good ones I'd…

   I don't know about the Deep Learning Specialization because it's a paid course. As for the first one, the Machine Learning one, as u/pecp3 said, it's essentially a math course with lots of theory. I have programmed for the better part of my life, mainly in C like/derived languages, and I found…
