What was that bot that would read all your posts and tell you who you are?

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? www.reddit.com/user/JohnDarlenHimself/

Tell me just my real name, it’s pretty easy. Then tell me my middle name (here I’ll get very very impressed).

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 ny 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.

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.
Show threadsolrizeMar 2
Reddit’s AI blocking is because they want to charge money for AI scraping. Google paid the money so they are allowed to scrape.

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

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
Show threadTheLeadenSeaMar 2
I can see how to download my settings as a json, but how do I export my whole profile?
Show threadiceberg314Mar 3
Heck I might have been thinking of pixelfed or misread that export thing
Show thread_haha_oh_wow_Mar 2
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.
