What’s the slang about? The OP doesn’t seem to be using any slang or colloquialisms. I thought it was funny but I don’t think I fully got the joke.

wasn’t deep or nun, lowkey just wanted to help, learned this terminal thingy here fs
I have a system prompt for haiku to convert messages to genz slang. I use it to confuse friends with it sometimes and we have a laugh. I had the instructions somewhere stored and just wanted to rewrite them before posting them here because I am paranoid and did not remember if i posted them verbatim in another place with another username.
I know this is not really the place for this sort of thing, but if some people smiled a bit I am good with that

Totally off topic, but it's funny how much of "modern" slang (whatever the generation) is present in hip hop culture years before. I noticed that when "twerk" became a thing; I remembered songs about twerking from years before that.
In this case, the term "bet": I remembered hearing that for the first time in the late 1980s in a song by Fresh Prince (Will Smith): "... bet, well let's go then..." (As We Go, 1988)

That is because most American slang derives originally from black and LGBT culture, specifically African American Vernacular English.

It’s pretty close to this meme from like a year ago:
