@jonny Skibidi is a nonsense word from Russian techno outfit Little Big's song of the same name. It was made up by people not an LLM. Little Big was huge in Russia but left Russia when Putin launched its invasion of Ukraine. The Skibidi toilets thing is a very bad imitation of Little Bigs absurdist Russian aesthetic and may well be a form of war propaganda (one of Russia's more influential propagandists was an artist, crude absurdity is a tactic). Little Big were massive in Russia and the song Skibidi got a fair amount of attention in some circles in the West (their videos are really fun and they really established a certain absurdist aesthetic). Anyway, main point is it's nonsense slang made up by human artists who are famous for an absurd and surrealist aesthetic and not an invention of an LLM. This ends our Ted Talk on the etymology of Skibidi and why it's not indicative of LLMs creating a new language. It's all human inventiveness and about how words sound in a musical context, it's jazz scatting and very human creativity.
