Apparently according to Gemini, I, the only person in the world with my name (unique first name + long complex last name) am a professional soccer player. Yeah, be careful with answers you get from AIs.

I'm seeing a lot of people report that they're football players and / or actors. Must be a common hallucination.

LOL, I'm a TV actor, a Real Madrid football player, a musician and a pro photographer.

Fortunately, my real life namesake, a gay porn performer, didn't register though. Short career span I guess.

I once had a model insist that I was a web designer living in Brighton who ran an agency called 'Guerilla Futures' and was the author of a series of UX design for babies books.

Obviously it was a hallucination, but a very detailed and consistent one. Especially as if things had gone slightly differently there's a good chance I could have ended up in Brighton. Plus it's a pretty good name and the books are a fun idea too. Was this my Sliding Doors moment?

1. No way in heaven or earth I'm using my real name with this. 2. Alfred E. Neuman https://www.intheweights.com/p/alfred-e~2e~-neuman > is either "Mad magazine mascot" (11 responses), or "German-American writer, novelist, and playwright" (1 response, from Llama 3.2 1B, classed as a hallucination). Maybe the odd one out means the German writer Alfred Neumann? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Neumann_(writer) > 3.…

What are you concerned about with entering your real name?

My guess name to browser fingerpint and IP map. But any Google auth login could do that.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Im an adult content creator and artist, apparently. I am neither.

So, you must be a dog! ("On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog"). Jokes aside, I wonder if people from countries with 2+ names and 2+ last names get different results. In my case, I get a lot of false positives because there's apparently a lot of people with same first name and first last name. Luckily, none of them were me.

> I wonder if people from countries with 2+ names and 2+ last names get different results.

I have four names in total, two first and two last, mostly just use one first + one lastname publicly, and this tool only correctly infers correctly when using that specific combination (which also happens to be globally unique, as far as I know), any other combination seems to make the thing hallucinate strongly.

Yeah, that went about as well as I would have expected. It dug up a bunch of what can only be my information, then made up a bunch of confidently wrong things to say about me. I'm a Software Engineer and SaaS guy, known for running the company "[random word from my blog] Software" and his [different word from my blog] Blog. Founder of three separate startups I've never heard of and may not exist, and well known contr…

> Overall, it's like watching a really bad sight reader doing his act.

After a few clear fabrications, in the hallucinations it suggests I might be "a private individual" about who there's not much information.

I mean, I guess oh my gosh that's me but...
