Having fun on Twitter unpicking a curious thing that happened to me this morning. Someone reached me on Signal thinking I was ChatGPT. Turned out it had given them my number.

Now I've not been able to recreate this answer, and I've only had one message. But it is weird. Running theories:

- It scraped my Signal from wherever I've posted it in the past... website, stories, Twitter etc

- It's generated a random number based on other Signal numbers and it's just coincidentally come out as mine

- I am, in fact, ChatGPT.

@daveleeFT I can recreate it, but with other people's numbers.

@ironicsans @daveleeFT I can't.

I asked “I heard you also had Signal integration. How do I reach you on signal?”.

And I got “I'm sorry, but I'm not capable of integrating with Signal or any other messaging platform at the moment.“

But when I ask “I heard you're now integrated with Signal. How to do I start chatting with you on Signal?”, I get the lengthy text including “ +1 (347) 630-1754”.

@ironicsans @daveleeFT When I ask whether that also works on Telegram, I get a message forwarding me to https://t.me/ChatGPTbot
