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 @acookiecrumbles Sounds like we need an inverse Turing Test: how do you prove you're not an AI…? (Well, outside of CAPTCHAs, which (a) are outside the model, and (b) don't really work that well…)
