COMMENT by Wei_Dai:
“PSA: If you leave too much writings publicly visible on the Internet, random people in the future will be able to instantiate simulations of you, for benign or nefarious purposes. It’s already too late for some of us (nobody warned us about this even though it should have been foreseeable many years ago) but the rest of you can now make a more informed choice.
(Perhaps I never commented on this post IRL, and am now experiencing what I’m experiencing because someone asked their AI, “I wonder how Wei Dai would have replied to this post.”)”
REPLY by Wei_Dai:
“I’m not sure how to respond to this. I mean, I definitely think it’s more likely than not that I’m an AI simulation, but if I’m not, the first thing I would do is delete my post on this thread, so I don’t see how it’s helpful to tell me this.”
For my prompt I used the last few paragraphs of original post and then added “Comment by Wei_Dai” at the end. I didn’t use Wei_Dai’s actual comment at all. The output was result was just “[deleted]”.
The first thing I did after reading your comment was ask my AI how Wei_Dai would have replied to this post.
My simulated Wei_Dai deleted his comment.
Replicated.
