Exploring AI Language Models and Reddit’s Influence: How Well Do They Understand Niche Internet Culture?
As Artificial Intelligence models are increasingly developed using vast datasets from platforms like Reddit, a compelling question arises: Has anyone, somewhere along the line, experienced a “shittymorph”—a humorous or exaggerated transformation—prompted by these models?
This curiosity prompted me to test how well current AI models recognize and respond to such niche internet slang. Specifically, I asked the Gemini AI to generate a comment in the style of “shittymorph,” a popular meme within certain online communities.
The results were impressive and quite entertaining. It seems these models have absorbed a surprising amount of Reddit’s unique language and humor, at least enough to produce fitting responses.
Moving forward, it could be insightful to explore even more obscure Reddit lore and memes. Doing so might help us gauge the depth and breadth of these models’ understanding of internet culture. Are they only familiar with mainstream trends, or do they grasp the nuances of the internet’s more hidden corners?
If you’re interested in the intersection of AI, internet culture, and data sources, this line of inquiry promises to be both fascinating and revealing. Feel free to share your thoughts or suggest additional memes and memes-like language that could further test these models’ cultural awareness.
