Not terrible although I am somewhat insulted that QWEN3 8B hallucinated me as the chimp from Jimmy Neutron and no, MISTRAL 3.2 24B, I don't stream on Twitch.

Oh and KIMI K2 0905 completely hallucinated a real name for me (I don't work on Pygame!)

The.. false positives are extremely scary (not listed as hallucinations)

A terrorist on the US saction list.. the first female airplane suicide bomber?? I was in the US a year ago and I did not bomb any planes

I think with Arabic names it's highly biased, which is kind of scary, I don't want to be bombed based on an LLM query

Apparently I'm either a child voice actor on the cartoon Bluey or an adult film actor. Those were the most interesting anyway. But all of them were hallucinations. The most interesting thing about this, IMO is that none of the models could simply say that they didn't recognize the name.

Now that's interesting. I put my name in and it gave me a bunch of made up identities plus some really funny stuff in the hallucination part [1].

But then I entered my name as it's on Linkedin, including a nickname, and it totally failed to find me even then. Pretty sure the full name + nickname combo is unique.

[1] It said I'm former prime minister of Romania, the locals should know why that's funny in the current political circus.

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.…

I put my SS in there

Secret Santa!

I have bad news for you about what the US military does with bombs and LLMs:

This is a clever trick to get you to enter your real name. ;-) I entered mine, I was on the page kind of, there was some kind of exaggeration of me as the last one. I was surprised someone else in my family who is a kind of actual famous person was not found. It seems to have a lot of recency bias based on that.
