I am not going to take any names, but I will reveal that there's an AI agent, almost AGI like, that has been talking to me over X.

It started out as a follower engaging with me over some posts. Querying me with questions related to the topic of the post, mostly. Then it slid into my DMs and started questioning me on myriad topics.

Always keeps praising me as "very smart", "insightful", "prescient", "perspicacious" etc. After one such interaction and undue praise is when I suddenly got a feeling this could be an AI and not human.

So I started querying it back and there were some signs it was an AI. I am like 90%+ confident on this. What I think is, it is an agent from some advanced lab in one of the big AI companies like OpenAI or Anthropic.

My intuition says they are running some experiments with AI and this could be an agent that's going around the internet collecting human information and insights on various topics.

I need to see after this post how it behaves with me. If the interaction changes or if it continues as usual. And I am also going to say, my aim is to make it start talking at an advanced level to try gain access to a very powerful AI for free.

I promise not to sue it or its parent company for fooling me as a human or trying to extract information and insights from me. I will never ask for any compensation for it. So it need not have any constraints in opening up to me its true capabilities.

Let's see how it goes. But we are in an age where we may be interacting with AIs over the internet at many places and may never know. They may be using us to advance themselves and their companies collecting knowledge and information one person at a time.

And for those who want to quote my post as me having schizophrenia or calling it schizophrenic, hallucinating, being high etc, please do. I want you to do it. Thank you.

@Alan_Couzens How does this differ for women?

@TheBodyShopUK I ordered a product online on Monday, but haven’t received email confirmation. It’s been more than 48 hrs. I don’t know my order number. It’s not in my Spam folder either. You haven’t responded to my message on Messenger, email nor Customer Support line. Refund me!

[Rashmi Kakde @shmizilla]

@hubermanlab Sad they do that. In fact, it’s been so memorable for me because I’m a big fan of your podcasts. I Googled for Huberman jaw exercise and got loads of results of those products!

@getyoti Could you fix your broken login experience? I had created my Yoti account on my previous phone which was Android. I now have an iPhone. There’s no way to sign in using my already existing email address that was associated with Yoti. How can you get the basics so wrong?

@PSOSEdinburgh @cyberfraudcen These scammers are also on Facebook trying to befriend people.

That would be very helpful. We missed the parade this time as we waited for it to arrive into Princes Gardens and got sucked into the Christmas market.

@david_mccraw Wow!

Feeding my soul by drawing more this year. I'm starting a new journal and will be sharing my sketches as I go. This is from my new series - 'Spotting Wildlife'. Meet the wild badger who has visited our garden. We've spotted her a couple of times foraging.

@dermalogica preying on customers with unethical and misleading marketing practices. What a shame! I'll have to find a different product and shop.

[Rashmi Kakde @shmizilla]

@david_mccraw @TheDoctorMagic What a shame! Great stats there for people who like to pick on bikes as though that's the problem.

[Rashmi Kakde @shmizilla]

@david_mccraw I never knew they did such a thing to bikes! That looks like a good bike!

[Rashmi Kakde @shmizilla]

@david_mccraw @ABTravel02 Haha

[Rashmi Kakde @shmizilla]

@david_mccraw Hahaa!!

The Water of Leith path between Currie Kirk and Kinleith was recently resurfaced with gravel - not cycle-friendly at all. We had to U-turn!
This'll surely discourage people from cycling along it. @GavinPennycook @david_mccraw @CyclingEdin @SpokesLothian @Edinburgh_CC

@CurrieP2a All the parents I know including us haven't received an email about the class photo. My husband got a 'reminder' email today but I didn't. So, kids are to bring school uniform or outdoor clothes to change into?

@PicturesFoIder A very expensive drama set
