I feel like I remember a bot a while ago that you summoned it somehow with a username and shortly later it would respond with a summary of what it knows about you as a person based on your comments and posts. Does anyone know what happened to it? I’d like to try it out again, if it still exists

      I don’t think it tries to doxx your real name to random queries. Maybe the gubbermint version does that.

      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.

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

          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.
