This is great for teaching, but it doesn't go far enough to deal with the problems that come up when AI is used. For example, finding the right "reward" function is the first thing that needs to be done. Machines do EXACTLY what they are told, but they don't understand the subtleties. The "paperclip problem" is a typical example: if you tell an AI model to optimize for making paperclips, it will probably waste resources making more of them without thinking about the bigger picture.

I asked AI "What is snail mail?" This was the result:

Applied AI knowledge is needed to understand and deal with these subtleties for the best business results.
