Your AI is guessing how you think. Mine was too.
Its first answer was a good guess, and it said so itself.
A fresh session has no memory of you. It guesses from your files. Point it at the saved record and it reads back something truer.

My best prompt is 12 words long.

It is the last line of every prompt I use to start a session.

I gave my AI a map of my weaknesses.

It used the map on me in the same conversation.

My AI called me Gary.

My name is Tim. It had called me Tim for 14 conversations. Then, in one session, it called me Gary.

I burned $172 on one AI model in ten days.

Then I stopped cold.

Ten days with Claude Fable 5 taught me when a frontier model is worth it, and when it isn't.

For most of my life, I confused what I knew with who I was.

A photographic memory. Instant recall. 26 years in technology. The straight A's became paychecks. The paychecks became a self.

What would AI reveal about you if you let it?

Follow for what I am learning at the intersection of AI and being human.

Eleven months ago my company cut my role. AI was the stated reason. After 26 years in tech, I was out.

The part that scared me: Am I relevant?
