Considering AI models trained on Reddit data, has anyone by now experienced being ‘shittymorph’ed?

Exploring AI’s Knowledge of Reddit Culture: Has It Been “Shittymorphed” Yet?

As artificial intelligence models continue their rapid development, a fascinating question has emerged among tech enthusiasts: Given that many AI systems are trained on vast datasets derived from Reddit, has any model ever been “shyttymorphed”? In other words, has AI ever been pushed to generate content in the distinctive, often humorous and irreverent style characteristic of Reddit’s “shittymorph” posts?

This curiosity led me to experiment with one of the latest AI models—Google’s Gemini—asking it to respond in the manner of a typical “shittymorph” comment. The results? Entertaining and surprisingly accurate. The AI managed to mimic the tone and style effectively, confirming that it has at least some understanding of Reddit’s unique language and humor.

But this raises broader questions about the depth of AI’s knowledge of Reddit’s nuanced cultures and lore. Could we, by exploring more obscure or niche communities within Reddit, gauge the extent to which these models have internalized specialized online subcultures? Is there a way to test the boundaries of their understanding, perhaps revealing how well AI can grasp the subtleties of internet slang, memes, and in-jokes?

Moving forward, delving into lesser-known Reddit topics might provide clarity on the scope of AI comprehension related to online communities. It could also offer insights into how these models can better understand and generate content that resonates with internet-savvy audiences.

Have any ideas on how we might push this investigation further? Your thoughts and experiences could help unlock new perspectives on AI’s integration with internet culture.
