Perhaps the closest is DeepSeek v4:

I studied philosophy, so maybe, except I don't post on LessWrong, and I'm not a rationalist.

Nailed it! /s

But even the entries that aren't marked as likely hallucinations are wrong for me on this site.

> George McBay

> African American chemist and educator

No, that's Henry Cecil McBay (no direct relation that I'm aware of).

Google Search's AI mode does match actual me, but the information it spits out is all mixed up with information on another person who has my same name (also no relation that I'm aware of) and is also a software developer.

My real name was attributed to a non-existent famous midfield footballer

I am, as far a I know the only person in the world with my name. So I searched for my name. I am none of many things this tool tells me I am, for example a right wing politician, a journalist,l and a researcher on solar fuels.

But unfortunately I'm not a professional footballer _or_ a fictional character in a Henry James novel (though I looked up the reference and it's close!)

I scored 1,100 total on my music moniker. It has been used in SoundCloud and also via streaming services/releases via DistroKid. Represented in all the models but of course not disproportionally large fame so to speak. It’s just a very unique setup, somewhat designed to stand out.

My writing account, newer within the past few years, is just under 1,000. The Kimi and DeepSeek pick that up a lot more. I wonder if they train on Medium more than the others…

Thanks for sharing!

If I have a strength of just 488, how can that put me in the top 10%! Anyways, fun idea.

When Fable was accessible, I asked it about myself and it had some accurate information about me. It's neat. It feels a tiny bit like I got to sign the Voyager probe. I wonder if Fable was trained on a significantly different selection of data or if it's just better at retaining rare details it saw in its training.

Fun story about my name [0], the bank couldn't mail me my debit card because the mailman kept crossing my address off the envelop.

I suspect being in the Open Source world is a bit of a bubble as far as the weights are concerned.

Anyway it stroked my ego nicely even though it was totally artificial, like Zaphod Beeblebrox surviving the Total Perspective Vortex.

(I nuke my online accounts regularly to not be tracked - started because I had a stalker but now it's just for the best. I know that this goes against hn rules but yeah it's a bad rule)

A completely made up name got "110 strength · Top 60%" and "hits" in GPT-5.5 and "Gemini 3.1 Lite", not sure what to make of that either.

OTOH, this tool describes me as a "security researcher known for talks and writing on JavaScript, Node.js, and web security."

I am not a security researcher and have never given any such talk and know precious little about Node.js or web security.

"No stable person found"...

2. Alfred E.

4. Thank goodness for Firefox's "mute tab" toggle; the thumping and keyclick sounds get real old, real fast.

In fact, both of the first two are me, but I wonder if Claude Opus 4.8 (the only one that hit both of those two) realizes they're the same person? :P

  1756, Salzburg, January 27th: Wolfgang Amadeus is born

>my Reddit history is part of every training set. It was taken without my consent. So now I'm immortal in a way, and hiding in the weights

Anyway 654 isn't horrible for the history still tied to me. That's in the top 6%[2]. It's interesting that it's non-deterministic, and the more keywords you add about yourself, the higher your score goes.

But none are exactly right.

Really odd feeling to think that my writings from that period are helping these things. Not necessarily happy about it--I took that stuff down because it was so deeply personal, and a record of my life that didn't need to be public. Odd to think my teenage angst is, in some small way, writing the AI-generated e-mails I get now.

GPT-5.5 tells me about the actor, but Claude Opus 4.8 and, weirdly, Grok 4.2 know who I am [1]. I wonder if that's because I use Claude more? Grok I have no clue why.

What this tells me is that I've done a decent job of keeping my real life and my internet personas nicely separated.

On the other hand, the tool did make an assessment of sorts: NO STABLE PERSON FOUND.

er. okay. The good thing about this test is that I am the only person in the world with my full name, and I know all the people with my last name (about 30-ish people). None of us are ambassadors, none of us are related to Congo in any way.

Interestingly, almost all of them got it right (although one seems to think I was a VP at Datadog, and I've seen that error before in some LLMs). But Haiku just says "no one of that name seems to exist". So Haiku must be pretty pruned down.

Yeah, be careful with answers you get from AIs.

It dug up a bunch of what can only be my information, then made up a bunch of confidently wrong things to say about me.

I'm a Software Engineer and SaaS guy, known for running the company "[random word from my blog] Software" and his [different word from my blog] Blog. Founder of three separate startups I've never heard of and may not exist, and well known contributor to Open Source (because that's something that software people often do, so it makes for pretty words to put into a paragraph, despite me not contributing to open source).

Overall, it's like watching a really bad sight reader doing his act. It suggests something that's likely true about you given your background, then keeps tweaking those suggestions until you go "yeah, that's it! you nailed me!".

Sadly, this is pretty par for the course watching AI try to do stuff.

The other models think I'm Dutch (I guess the 'van' gives that away?) and am a soccer/football player. I don't know anything about soccer though

LLAMA 3.2 1B SAYS

MCFART IS A POPULAR INTERNET PERSONALITY KNOWN FOR HIS HUMOROUS CONTENT.

wow how does it konw

just to be clear, you have each search running on all those models? Self hosted a lot of them right?

Great design and artwork. How did you generate the portraits?

Have you thought about extending this into some sort of pipeline for AIO?

Fortunately, my real life namesake, a gay porn performer, didn't register though. Short career span I guess.

Obviously it was a hallucination, but a very detailed and consistent one. Especially as if things had gone slightly differently there's a good chance I could have ended up in Brighton. Plus it's a pretty good name and the books are a fun idea too. Was this my Sliding Doors moment?

The most correct result comes from Opus 4.8, but is amusingly deemed an hallucination:

Claude Opus 4.8 says

A name associated with French IT/systems administration and Linux community discussions, possibly a storage and data systems specialist.

"The box contains us, the box contains everything and inside the box there's another box"

Oh and KIMI K2 0905 completely hallucinated a real name for me (I don't work on Pygame!)

Slashdot can now be a safe space :-)

A terrorist on the US saction list.. the first female airplane suicide bomber?? I was in the US a year ago and I did not bomb any planes

I think with Arabic names it's highly biased, which is kind of scary, I don't want to be bombed based on an LLM query

But then I entered my name as it's on Linkedin, including a nickname, and it totally failed to find me even then. Pretty sure the full name + nickname combo is unique.

[1] It said I'm former prime minister of Romania, the locals should know why that's funny in the current political circus.

Now GET OFF THE INTERNET!

Then there is a third one which might be a hallucination (that one ironically appears to be me, and the other two are hallucinations).

It got the job description wrong, but the issues correct. Not too bad. Should've said "asshole with an opinion".

Strangely enough even most tiny models can explain what some of my projects are, including correct historical details. The project websites have my name on it in the contact info and there's other sources connecting it as well. Maybe that gets scrubbed from training data?

[0] Which is uncommon to begin with, so that person might be the only one with it who is in the weights.

My wife has a very unique hyphenated last name and it totally made up a French linguist with that name.

It thinks a polish friend of mine is a Brazilian footballer.

As for my real name; I'm a Norwegian politician? Sadly no soccer career in my AI future.

https://www.intheweights.com/p/jotalea

it got dismissed as unlikely, though.
