Parts of how that story was written triggers my sense of “this might have been embellished.” (It reminds me of viral reddit stories.)
I’m curious if there are other accounts where a Nova persona got a user to contact a friend or family member with the intent of getting them to advocate for the AI persona in some way.
In my experience playing a lot with LLMs, “Nova” is a reasonably common name they give themselves if you ask, and sometimes they will spontaneously decide they are sentient, but that is the extent to which my own experiences are consistent with the story. I can imagine though that since the time I was playing with these things a lot (about 6 months ago) much has changed.
Ditto, honestly. The writing style and vibes of the Tyler post are rancid even if I’m inclined to believe something like what it describes happened. It is as you say very Reddit tall tale slop sounding.
