Exploring AI’s Knowledge Through Reddit’s Hidden Lore
The recent trend of training AI models on large-scale Reddit datasets raises an intriguing question: Has anyone, somewhere along the line, had their online persona transformed into the notorious “Shittymorph” style? For those unfamiliar, Shittymorph is a humorous, often exaggerated depiction of users’ comments or personalities, blending satire with a touch of chaos.
Motivated by this curiosity, I decided to test whether AI language models—specifically Google’s Gemini—are aware of this meme culture. When prompted to respond in Shittymorph style, the model delivered responses that vividly captured the essence of the meme, demonstrating a surprising level of understanding.
This experience prompts a broader consideration: just how much of Reddit’s obscure and niche lore do these models truly grasp? By exploring deeper layers of Reddit’s more esoteric communities and memes, we might better gauge the extent of these models’ cultural knowledge.
What are your thoughts? Are there particular Reddit subcultures or memes you’d like to see tested against AI capabilities? Sharing insights and ideas could help us understand the boundaries and potentials of AI trained on social media data.
