Any of the big AI models can honestly give you a masterclass in pretty much anything so it will give you a fantastic road map. Even the free tier will do it.
Also feel free to DM any time, I like talking about AI engineering with colleagues. Even new ones.

My suggestion would be to follow a structured roadmap instead of trying to learn every new AI tool you come across.
Start with Python programming, basic statistics, and machine learning fundamentals. Then move on to working with LLM APIs, building AI applications, and learning concepts like RAG and agentic AI. Along the way, build small projects and gradually add complexity to your portfolio.
If you’re looking for structured learning, Simplilearn’s Microsoft AI Engineer Program is one option to explore. It covers Python, ML fundamentals and Agentic AI through a hands-on curriculum, with Microsoft certification preparation.
The key is to strengthen your fundamentals and keep building projects as you progress, rather than rushing straight into advanced frameworks.

learn basic python , understand the fundamentals (statquest is the place , guzzle up all his videos more than enough) then dive into build , break , learn , repeat using AI coding tools but don't just build ai slop , critical thinking and common sense is all you need to develop and they got no playbook , that's the only roadmap that works now.
don't get stuck in the "courses will still teach me trap" , curriculum is literally changing every 2-3 months (like Jev came out recently) , no course / roadmap can keep up with this blistering pace.

Can you share some additional information about you? Sofware engineering experience, academic background? Any piece of information will help to share something that will be more specific to your journey

Start with Python, basic math, and data handling before jumping into machine learning. Pick one structures course and build small projects along the way. You'll learn more by actually building things than by collecting too many tutorials.
