O'Reilly's line is relevant; e.g.,

But if you really want to understand what's going on I would use a traditional ML textbook. I'm more of a no pain, no gain kind of person.

"Deep Learning for Coders" (aka Fastai) https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/deep-learning-for/97814...

This book will take you from knowing nothing other than high school algenbra to knowing both practical applications and theoretical foundations and best practices for AI. If you're interested in AI and machine learning, you need this book.
