Early in college I wanted to jump into “doing A.I.” and ended up doing robotics research/clubs that I mostly hated in practice, and worse for whatever reason (probably too much obsession with discipline) didn’t even notice I hated, and I wasted a lot of time that way. It’s true that a lot of A.I. related fields attract people with less of a mathematical focus and it’s important to develop your mind working on problems you actually like.
Though the above shouldn’t be used as justification for doing nothing. Reading textbooks and taking classes becomes doing nothing if there is no output.
