Given that AI models are trained on Reddit data, do you believe at this point someone has already been “shittymorph’ed”?

Exploring AI’s Reddit Roots: Has the Risk of ‘Shittymorph’ Exposure Been Realized?

The growing integration of Reddit data into artificial intelligence models raises intriguing questions about their familiarity with the platform’s unique culture and terminology. Given that many AI systems are trained on vast repositories of Reddit discussions, it’s natural to wonder—has anyone out there experienced the consequences of this exposure firsthand, perhaps even being “Shittymorphed” in the process?

Motivated by this curiosity, I decided to test whether advanced AI models like Gemini can recognize or emulate Reddit’s distinctive slang and humor style. When prompted to respond in a “Shittymorph” manner, the results were quite revealing.

This exploration suggests that, with more in-depth digging into niche Reddit communities and lore, we might better understand the boundaries of what these models have learned—and perhaps uncover instances where their knowledge has crossed into more obscure or catchphrase-laden territory.

So, the question remains: how much of Reddit’s colorful language and culture has AI truly absorbed, and what are the implications of this for future development? Any ideas or insights are welcome as we continue to probe the depths of AI and internet culture.
