I feel like I remember a bot a while ago that you summoned it somehow with a username and shortly later it would respond with a summary of what it knows about you as a person based on your comments and posts. Does anyone know what happened to it? I’d like to try it out again, if it still exists
I heard about this but remain deeply skeptical about whether it would actually work: Most of the shit people claim “AI” can do seems to be bullshit.
I asked Google to look at my reddit profile and it hallucinated that I have a son, despite that not being the case and me never having claimed or said anything like that. It got at least some other stuff right.
The cool thing about lemmy is that you can download your data as a JSON file. I think you could upload that to any LLM chat bot and they may be able to do something similar
I recall what you’re talking about, but was it even attached to the fedi? I thought it was a xitter thing to compare your style to others.
I remember a Reddit bot that does what OP is asking about, but I never saw it here.
You can literally pass your profile link to an LLM and it does a pretty fair job
You make it look like it’s easy.
Can you find anything about me given my Reddit profile? https://www.reddit.com/user/JohnDarlenHimself/
I share a lot of shit on my Reddit that can be easily fingerprinted to my other accounts.
Tell me just my real name, it’s pretty easy. Then tell me my middle name (here I’ll get very very impressed). Or finding anything at all on the internet that isn’t mentioned in that profile.
(Just paste in that AI you’re saying. I tried Qwen and got nothing).
Here’s what I got on google:
tell me about reddit user JohnDarlenHimself
Based on recent Reddit activity as of early 2026, JohnDarlenHimself is an active user who participates in technical and philosophical discussions, often in Portuguese. His activity highlights include: Privacy & Technical Support: He is active in the rethinkdns subreddit, where he has sought assistance with DNS proxy configurations and troubleshooting. Philosophy & Debate: He participates in the FilosofiaBAR subreddit, engaging in deep discussions about human experience, labor, and social structures. Broad Interests: His profile interaction suggests a focus on open-source software, digital privacy (such as the r/degoogle community), and the social impact of technology. Would you like me to look for his specific posts or contributions in a particular subreddit?That’s weird, Google bypasses the AI prevention system of Reddit. In the other hand, Qwen told me it can’t access because the page was blocked possible by anti-AI system.
Google as always not caring about boundaries.
But my question is if that AI can find contents about my real person not the public info already available, like OP mentioned, a bot that find the real person based on the username interests.
Then the parent comment said it’s easy as throwing into an LLM, that’s what I was expecting… But the real person not the already public info.
Reddit’s AI blocking is because they want to charge money for AI scraping. Google paid the money so they are allowed to scrape.
They probably use the search bot workaround. They don’t train their AI on reddit directly but they scrape a ton of data for search then train on that. See? No rules being broken.
That’s interesting, it wasn’t even close for mine. I also asked it about my name on lemmy as well as reddit and interestingly enough it gave almost the exact same answer lol
No Google AI, I’m not interested in the Lostwave community, neither on reddit or here lol
You can ask google who Reddit user x is and it gives you a summary
