Back in the BERT days I had a physics major friend that stuffed a bunch of Norwegian names in a file and trained a Norwegian name generator. He also made a Moby Dick sentence generator for funsies.

PewDiePie’s project is nothing different than a personal pet project like these cases. Nothing about being a YouTuber makes you an expert at machine learning. It should be treated the same way as any other pet project.
