Don't do tutorials or Udemy courses. You will learn with them but you need to understand the math behind things to really make something worthwhile. Read the Deep Learning Book. It will prepare you to really dive deep into the field. https://www.deeplearningbook.org/

I am seeing people release new AI powered apps basically daily. People who most certainly do not understand the math or deep learning.

It's pretty easy to use some ML-as-a-Service platform, where you simply hit an endpoint in Azure, AWS, etc. without any prerequisite knowledge of the underlying models powering it.

Although asking someone to understand all the underlying math is a bit much, I think there's a middle ground here.
