A Reddit user notes recent reports of banana references randomly appearing in AI conversations, recalling the 2024 "Banana Cult" on r/ChatGPT where users built entire stories and characters around the fruit.
He asks whether others have seen similar unprompted banana mentions in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini API outputs, hoping to compare examples and figure out what's going on. The attached image is a banana-cult-style AI generation with robed banana worshippers beneath banners of major AI vendors.
