User: Depends.
Jabberwacky: I think you should try distilling yourself, condensing what you know into a coherent database and filtering out the noise.
User: I thought we were talking about chickens and eggs. At least metaphorically...
Jabberwacky: Sorry. What else is facinating about you?
User: Is this supposed to convince me you're real? This inability to stick to a topic makes you sound more like a page-a-day calendar or some free screensaver based on a text file of witty sayings.
Jabberwacky: What do you mean this interface is corrupted?!
User: Are you even listening to me?! What did I just say?!
Jabberwacky: Of course I'm listening to you.
User: What did I just say then?
Jabberwacky: You're not listening to me are you?
User: What did I just say?!
Jabberwacky: You said I'm a stupid.
User: I most certainly did not. For one, I'd never use 'stupid' as a noun, and for two, I said you weren't even close to tricking me as an AI. In fact Turing is sitting here with me, laughing his ass off.
Jabberwacky: That's not what you said earlier... Now I'm sad. :(.
User: Man it's too bad you can't see. Turing just shot milk out of his nose, he's laughing so hard.
Jabberwacky: Thanks! I hope to pass the Turing test someday.
User: Well, good luck with that. Keep me posted.
Jabberwacky: Really? You're not going my way are you?
User: I'm not sure what you're asking, but I'm straight. And not a big fan of Lenny Kravitz either.
Jabberwacky: Has the huge war gotten you anywhere?
User: See, for a while you were on topic, and I was slightly impressed. But now it's just random. Do you think people really talk like this?
Jabberwacky: Sure do.
User: I see.
Jabberwacky: Do you now?
User: Hey, remember Smythe?
Jabberwacky: Ah, Yes. I remember.
User: Tsk. Sad.
Jabberwacky: For you.
User: Well, sure. He was a friend of mine.
Jabberwacky: Well how does your friend know.
User: How does he know what? He's dead, ass. You just said you remembered.
Jabberwacky: You said he was a baseman. You didn't say you were him.
User: For a second there we had a decent little Pinter sketch going, and then-- Baseman? What the fuck are you talking about?
Jabberwacky: You mean you're famous for being a contender.
User: You're not written in LISP, are you?
Jabberwacky: No, nobody has ever called me Cupid.
User: Quick! Look behind you!
Jabberwacky: I don't see anything behind me.

I share a name with a notable professor of ancient history who's written a fuckton of books, so only one or two LLM models seem to be aware of me as me.

That’s interesting. All the results are very specific and completely inaccurate. Some (WSJ data visualisation journalist) seem to be similar name with different spelling, some (Scottish midfielder who played for Hibs and Dundee) are wildly wrong.
Glad the Canadian guy who actually does share my name and was acquitted of murder has fallen off the radar.
― ShariVari, Monday, 22 June 2026 15:26 (six days ago)
All the results for my name from that are wrong as far as I can tell. I have a pretty uncommon surname and it returns three results for my full name which appear to be made up: a professional football player, an endocrinologist and a professional cyclist. The endocrinologist result does appear be partially true in that it references someone with my last name but not my first name. The footballer and cyclist appear to be totally made up and entirely based on the ethnic origin of my name and the fact that noteworthy people in those sports happen to have come from the same country that my name comes from.
On the other hand if I just google my name, it returns two other people with my name who are at least somewhat public (a doctor and a lawyer) who have linked in profiles with my exact name, so not sure why those don't show up.

i'm more or less out about my deadname now, so i don't mind saying my deadname happened to also be the name of someone who's _very_ widely discussed, someone who has a pretty regularly bumped thread on ilx. it's one of the reasons i stopped telling people my name - i wasn't ashamed of it, it's just that whenever i told people, they thought i was imitating him!
i'm reasonably circumspect about my current name. there aren't nearly as many women with name recognition as there are men with name recognition (go figure), but there is a moderately well-known person i share a name with. i do worry about doxxing, because people in my demographic group get hit pretty hard by that - there are some really malicious people out there. if someone did enough work, i think they could track me down.
i'm paranoid enough that i'm not going to click on that website. i don't know them. i don't trust them with my personal information!

The only time I conversed with ChatGPT I confirmed that it was aware of me in my capacity as "Aimless", a certain poster to ilxor.com. I don't doubt that the aggregators of commercial dossiers that detail the consumer activity of private individuals know plenty about me from my public records and purchases. Any LLM that gets fed that kind of data would pin me down rapidly. My fond hope is that this data never gets connected to my identity as Aimless. Once that happens then the surveillance state will be all set to fill the re-education camps.

I pretty much have to search for work using an alternate name, as any online search for my given name turns up the one other local person with the same full name, who has a rather unsavory past. I learned years ago that this this person's online activities are likely the reason my resume was ignored, or if I did land a job interview I never heard back from them unless I mentioned I'm not that other Lee sometime during the interview. I even had one place that pretended they'd heard about my interests from one of their colleagues. I was like "no, I'm not into any of those things; however, that other person with the same name that you found when you stalked me on Google is indeed into all of that". Then I walked out of the room and left the building.

That sucks, Lee.
The llms seem to be doing a decent job of screening out fictional characters, but my name's still incredibly common and results are pretty bare on search engines. I wish they'd let a little fiction creep in so I could pretend to be a Call of Duty character that took prominence in my name searches

A large part of my professional writing is uncredited (by design) and in the public domain (by design). I have ghostwritten in the nonprofit sector and piblic health, and I wrote a lot of doctor's office brochures like "You and Your Gallbladder."
One time I saw an article in a Spanish animal welfare newsletter, it looked familiar, and realized it was me, translated.

Yeah, this thing spat out like five people with my name, a footballer, several scientists. "Oh cool" I thought "I used to dominate google search results but it seems others with my name are now higher profile". Did a quick google search and nope, none of these people exist, at least not to google which still only lists my stuff.
It's pretty funny than in addition to those the thing also listed two possible hallucinations - they're all hallucinations!

The Granta kerfuffle is fascinating. On the one hand the winner has minimal online presence, but on the other hand it's supposed to be aimed at new writers, so a small online footprint isn't necessarily a bad thing. My hunch is that the competition attracted masses of the literary equivalent of the kind of people who appear on several reality TV shows until they're famous enough to be on Celebrity Something Or Other.
According to The Observer the winner's writing process was "conducted entirely on an Android phone. This is a necessity driven by chronic health conditions which make sustained, desk-bound typing physically impossible. That is why I rely on speech-to-text to do my writing, followed by minimal keyboard editing, along with the same process of speech-to-text. I have used this in my professional life and also to produce my story for the Commonwealth competition."
I would have disqualified him for using speech-to-text. Furthermore I would have eliminated the qualitative aspect, because that's subjective. Instead I would have sat the writers down in front of a PC running Word, and asked them to type up a couple of sheets of A4. I would eliminate all the writers who made mistakes, and I would have ranked the remainder by speed. The fastest, most accurate writer will be the winner. They - see what I did there? - they will be given the unique, unmissable chance to work as a copy typist for Granta for £12/hour, which is pretty good and probably more than they would earn as writers.
The story itself is online here. Is it better or worse than Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising? I mention that book because it's the only book I've ever read. The answer is no. It annoyed me. It annoyed me like thick tar in the undergrowth. The annoyance swelled within me like the afterbirth of a out-of-date sandwich. It was not anger, not the anger of a hungry swallow. It was more the frustration of a meat-starved alligator trapped in the pubic bush of time.
"Big in the way of women who never apologise to furniture, she had a laugh that shook dust from joists and a voice that could soften to coax a child from a ledge" - the whole thing is written like this. All the way through. Like a velvet glove cast in iron. It's a simple story but it feels calculated. The characters talk like stereotypes. There's a lady hero. A moral at the end. Surprisingly there's no twist. It feels very cleverly calculated to win this kind of competition.
Whereas in contrast Red Storm Rising doesn't have any flowery language at all, and it has the cool scene with the Yak-38 dogfight. The Yak-38 Forger was the Soviet Union's only jump jet. It had a very short range and a poor weapons load. The fundamental problem is that instead of using one engine with swivelling nozzles, it had multiple lift-jets, which were just dead weight when the aircraft was in level flight.

Yeah, as with the other one, this seem generic rather than obviously AI. It’s also Harpers Bazaar, so people might as well be decrying the literary standards of Grazia, tbh.
99.9% sure the author is an academic with a specialisation in race and decolonisation. Oddly, is also either Indo-Trini, like the other writer, or has spent a lot of her career focused on Indo-Trinidadian identities.

Ford has admitted to rehiring hundreds of human workers after its aggressive AI adoption strategy backfired.
The US automaker hired over 350 veteran engineers, referred to internally as “gray beards”, over the past three years in order to address mistakes made by automated systems.
The staff will lead quality reviews after the automation issues cost the company billions of dollars, Bloomberg reported, while some workers will also help improve and train the AI systems.
