Considering AI models trained on Reddit data, has anyone, by now, experienced being “shittymorphed” somewhere?

Exploring AI’s Exposure to Reddit Culture: Have Models Been ‘Shittymorphed’ Yet?

As AI systems continue to evolve and absorb vast amounts of online content, a fascinating question arises: Given that many AI models are trained on Reddit data, is it possible that someone has already been ‘shittymorphed’ by an AI?

This curiosity prompted me to test whether contemporary AI models, such as Google’s Gemini, can recognize or replicate Reddit-specific slang and stylistic quirks—particularly the notorious ‘shittymorph’ style, characterized by its blunt, raw, and often humorous tone. To my surprise, the model responded in kind, demonstrating a surprising familiarity with the language and tone typical of that niche.

This experiment hints at a broader capability of AI to understand and emulate even the more obscure corners of Reddit culture. So, what does this mean for the extent of these models’ knowledge? Could they be capable of engaging with, or even generating, highly specialized and niche communities’ content? Exploring deeper into Reddit’s lore and language might shed light on just how much these models have learned—and where their limits lie.

If you’re interested in the intersection of AI training data and online subcultures, this opens up exciting avenues for research and curiosity. How much of your digital community has been woven into the AI’s understanding? Perhaps it’s time we delve further into the depths of Reddit’s archives and see what hidden knowledge lies beneath the surface.
