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

    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.

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?

        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.

      That’s interesting, it wasn’t even close for mine. I also asked it about my name on lemmy as well as reddit and interestingly enough it gave almost the exact same answer lol

      No Google AI, I’m not interested in the Lostwave community, neither on reddit or here lol
