I would like to start contributing to open source projects with Artificial Intelligence / Data Science themes. I currently have 2 years of experience in this field. Is my experience enough to start contributing to a project such as LAION Open Assistant or should I have more experience?
Sure. If you think you don't have enough coding experience, you could always start by trying to improve the documentation or answer some of the questions users of these products have. You could check the Discussions and Issues tabs on Github for example. If you find an issue where you can contribute code to solve the problem, you can create a pull request. This way, you can get more familiar with the projects, while helping real people in the meantime.
