Exploring AI’s Exposure to Niche Reddit Content: Has Machine Learning Encountered “Shittymorph”?
As Artificial Intelligence models are increasingly trained on diverse online datasets—including Reddit—an intriguing question arises: Has any AI system encountered the infamous “Shittymorph” style of content during its training?
This curiosity was sparked by a simple experiment. I prompted the AI language model Gemini to respond in the distinctive “Shittymorph” style—an infamous meme format originating from Reddit communities. To my surprise, the AI delivered a response that closely resembled the expected tone and style.
This experience prompts further reflection: To what extent have these models absorbed the depths of Reddit’s niche lore and underground humor? Could we possibly map the boundaries of their knowledge by exploring more obscure and specialized subcultures online?
Understanding what these models have truly learned can shed light on their capacity to synthesize and replicate the nuanced language, humor, and cultural references found deep within Reddit’s diverse communities. Do you have ideas or approaches for probing these boundaries further? Share your insights below.
