I challenged it to identify me by asking me questions—no biographical information, just getting me to talk. It asked a series of questions, in which I talked about Galileo, microservices, Chinese, etc, probably about one paragraph each. After question 5, it said, “I’m going to commit: <my name>”. This was in an opencode session using the API, not the web browser.
I did open-source development for about 20 years; 50% of all work-related emails I’ve sent in the last 20 years are on the internet, and probably 90% of all the code I’ve written. I’ve also got a fairly extensive comment history on slashdot and hackernews; the latter of which shouldn’t be too hard to connect with my name.
Being known that well by a machine definitely raises some weird feelings.
