Alright, so I had this wild idea to create a custom AI model, something kinda niche, focusing on the Sidemen. Thought it would be a fun little project, y’know? Something to mess around with on the weekends.
First things first, I needed data. Lots of it. I scraped through YouTube, grabbing every video title, description, and comment section I could find related to the Sidemen. It was a mess, honestly. Just a giant pile of text and links.
Then came the “cleaning” part. Oh boy, was that tedious. I had to remove all the emojis, the spam, the irrelevant comments… basically anything that wasn’t actual, usable text. I used some basic Python scripts for this, nothing fancy, just regular expressions and stuff. It took forever, but I eventually got it down to a semi-manageable dataset.
Next, I decided to use a pre-trained model as a base. I mean, why reinvent the wheel, right? I grabbed something called BERT, which is pretty popular for natural language processing. It’s like, the foundation, and then you fine-tune it with your own data. It is easy to use it.
So, I fed my cleaned-up Sidemen data into the BERT model. I won’t lie, I had no idea what I was doing at this point. Just following tutorials and crossing my fingers. I tweaked some parameters, ran some training scripts, and waited. And waited. And waited.
The Results?
Let’s just say… it wasn’t pretty. I tried to generate some text using the model, hoping it would spit out something Sidemen-esque. Instead, I got gibberish. Complete nonsense. It was like the model had learned a new language, and that language was “random words strung together.”
- First attempt The model is printing too much about other irrelevant content.
- Second attemptAfter trying to adjust some parameters. It just repeated the same few phrases over and over again.
- Third attemptAnd then I adjusted * was just… bad.
I realized I was way in over my head. Building a custom AI model isn’t some weekend project. It takes time, expertise, and probably a lot more computing power than my old laptop could *, yeah, my “Sidemen AI model”? Officially rejected. Back to the drawing board, I guess… or maybe just back to watching Sidemen videos instead of trying to create them.
