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.

#202Fortunately, my real life namesake, a gay porn performer, didn't register though. Short career span I guess.

#203Obviously 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?

#2051. 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).

#208Earlier 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 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.

#210Yeah, 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…
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...
