Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

Hello,

I want to create an AI model to learn about AI/ML. so I have scraped some data from Threads and Instagram.now I am wondering how can I use this dataset to make an AI model or do something useful with it? (BTW I don't know anything about AI/ML. I have done internship as Data Analyst so I know a little bit about Linear regression etc. but don't know anything advance.)

I am really curious to explore this space :)

You're right. I read past the "I want to learn ML" and went straight to "do something useful with the data".

If the goal is to understand how modern LLMs work, it's also good to read up on RNNs and LSTMs. For this, 3Blue1Brown does an amazing job, and even posted an in-depth video about transformers. I'd watch that next, followed by implementing a simple transformer in PyTorch (perhaps using the existing blocks).

You could argue that it's important to design everything from scratch first, but it's easier to first go high level, see how the network behaves, and then attempt to implement it yourself based on the paper. It is up to OP how comfortable he is with the topic though ๐Ÿ˜
