In the digital humanities, "algorithmic culture" is part of an emerging synthesis of rigorous software algorithm driven design that couples software, highly structured data driven design with human oriented sociocultural attributes.^{[citation needed]} An early occurrence of the term is found in Alexander R. Galloway classic Gaming: Essays on Algorithmic Culture^[1]

Other definitions include Ted Striphas'^[2] where AC refers to the ways in which the logic of big data and large scale computation (including algorithms) alters they culture is practiced, experienced and understood."^{[3][clarification needed]}.

A starting point for modern discussion of culture is attributed to Edward Burnett Tylor in his 1871 works on primitive culture.^[4]

The emergence and continuing development and convergence of computers, software, algorithms,^{[citation needed]} human psychology, digital marketing and other computational technologies resulted in numerous AC variants including recommendation algorithms, AI generated stories and characters, digital assets (including creative NFTs,^{[citation needed]} all of which can and should be considered as algorithmic culture artifacts.^{[citation needed][according to whom?]} A similar process is occurring in strictly sociological interactions.^{[citation needed]}

With the flourishing of LLMs, and particularly ChatGPT, algorithmic culture is increasingly visible within the academic mainstream. Jill Walker Rettberg at the University of Bergenis exploration applications of in her works.^[5] Some of the examples she uses are: How to use ChatGPT to get past writer's block, and examining society's biases and cliches^[6]

Generative AI, is a now prominent and fast evolving^{[citation needed]} component of modern algorithmic culture.^{[citation needed]} It is currently entering a period of accelerating growth,^{[citation needed]} acceptance and use, with specific algorithms and tools including Midjourney DALL-E and Stable Diffusion.^{[citation needed]}

ChatGPT Plus, GPT-4 are increasing their sophistication in composing music, writing teleplays, fairy tales, stories, and poems.^{[citation needed]} With user prompting also facilitating character specific speaking and writing styles.^{[citation needed]} NovelAI, for example, is an online AI-assisted story writer.^{[citation needed]}
