Am I in the AI? (In the Weights)
There's a new vanity search in town. Instead of Googling yourself, you check whether AI models know you exist. It's called In the Weights. Here's what happened when I searched myself ↓
Created by two former OpenAI designers who joined through the Global Illumination acquisition. They query Grok, Gemini, GPT (multiple versions), Claude, and Llama with "Who is (your name)?"
The models return up to 10 results each. In the Weights clusters similar answers and assigns a "strength score." Higher = the AI knows you better. Macaulay Culkin leads the leaderboard at 988.
TechCrunch's Anthony Ha scored 641, top 6%. But one model (GPT-5.4 Mini) said he's an "ambiguous name form." Textbook hallucination. The tool flags these.
The creator, Thomas Dimson: "Google vanity searches are the wrong objective in 2026 as more traffic moves to LLMs. So many lives are encoded in floating point numbers inside the AI brain."
"Being in the weights means your existence was deemed important in the process of creating superhuman artificial intelligence." That's the tagline. It's oddly profound.
