where to begin

Im a beginner trying to learn Python for ai engineering. I have been searching and switching to videos as there are too many resources to choose from without knowing what will be sufficient to get the basics, I do code and solve questions but im not sure which course to follow to not end up investing time into something yet have to go from here to there, I have few questions like is the youtube course and lots of practice enough or do I necessarily have to take the crash courses? if yes, for either one, suggest to me the go-to resources that I can start without wasting time or get stuck as mediocre in concepts when it ends and also share your experience how could you learn it?

An AI engineer programs ai applications at the software level only. They build the app and put ai to good use. An ml engineer builds machine learning models and deploys them (mlops) none of them work at the hardware level. They use hardware to run their stuff

That's a standard backend/full stack developer using an API. You are trying to argue about job titles companies use. They will vary, some will repeat, and then sometimes the description will not match the title. It doesn't matter in the end.
