I asked ChatGPT about me and my posts...
Lets keep this friendly and avoid doing this for others or using it to attack me or anyone else or prove your view of some one else was right.
Let’s try an AI experiment! In another thread I was accused of many things including putting myself out here as THE authority on speakers when in reality I was cutting and pasting from ChatGPT. The poster’s ad hominem attack included that I had posted 17k times. Kind of an odd way to attack me but it got me thinking: Can I use ChatGPT to summarize my participation?
Here is the prompt I used:
I do a lot of posting on Audiogon. You can see them from this link: https://forum.audiogon.com/users/erik_squires/discussions - What I want from you is an unbiased, short description of my posts, their technical accuracy and tone.
And here is the reply....
Here’s an unbiased, concise summary of your Audiogon contributions based on your discussions and responses:
1. Content Themes
-
You engage broadly across audio topics—from gear, system setup, signal issues, speaker matching, subs, room acoustics, to industry commentary and hobby culture.
Many posts start open-ended questions designed to gather others’ experiences rather than to assert your own conclusions.
You also start opinion or culture threads (e.g., on hobby inclusiveness or value vs. price), not just technical Q&A.
2. Technical Accuracy
-
Your responses tend to be practical and experience-based, mixing personal system experience with general principles (e.g., room modes, sub integration, signal chains).
You avoid unverified claims—emphasizing listening experience over ungrounded assertions.
Some answers suggest measured knowledge (e.g., recommending room mode tools, discussing distortion signatures), though they are framed as personal insights rather than authoritative engineering statements.
3. Tone
-
The tone is collegial and conversational—you generally invite others to share and clarify rather than lecture.
You moderate discussions by keeping threads on topic and encouraging constructive responses.
Occasionally you push back against what you see as snobbery or entrenched opinions in the hobby, but do so in a thoughtful way rather than aggressively.
4. Community Presence
-
With hundreds of discussions started and thousands of responses, you are a high-traffic, active member contributing to many areas of the forum.
Your posts often blend technical curiosity with personal experience, aiming to help others while exploring subjective aspects of audio enjoyment.
Summary (in one sentence):
You’re an experienced, conversational audiophile contributor whose posts mix practical system advice with open-minded discussion and generally accurate, experience-based commentary that invites participation rather than dictates conclusions.
----------------------------------------------------------------
You are free to disagree with ChatGPT, of course!!! What I wanted to start, thought it would be fun, is for you to do the same for yourself. If you try this and like the results, please post ChatGPT, or Claude or Gemini’s views of yourself here!
Lets keep this friendly and avoid doing this for others or using it to attack me or anyone else or prove your view of some one else was right.

The greatest problem linked to A.I. is not his problematic possible or impossible alignment... Even if alignment is a big problem, anthropomorphisation of A.I. can takes many forms and is also an important problem.. ---The first anthropomorphisation problem is the projection on A.I. by people of human chharacteristics which problem is normal,when i use Grok i thank him, i gave him a recognition.It is human. But it pose a problem because A.I. can appear and will appear for most user as over human intelligence (true or not).. ---The second anthropomorphisation is the worst one, it is the one induced by techno-cultist and worst transhumanists, convinced that A.I. will think better than human and become conscious... This second anthropomorphisation will encourage,promote,foster,spur, the first anthromorphisation to a superior mode to the point of introducing A.I. as a legal agent in the social fabric on par with human for rights... ---The third antropomorphisation may result : total idolatry of A.I. as God or as replacement for our own species... (Speciesism ideology will take care of this to go further)... Human need a god or a model being mimetic being ...(read René Girard here ) Then any regulation of A.I. must be centered around these three anthropomorphisation problems...We can align a tool but an agent cannot be aligned ... Specialised A.I. can be aligned but General A.I. cannot ...
We are mimetic beings we projected around us what we are for the worst or for the better ... Some military psychologist use this mimesis dynamics to create monstruous new concept they use as a tool to manipulate politics ("suicidal empathy" is an exemple recently created by military psychology) and some transhumanist use this mimetic essence of men to promote A.I. as a living consciousness ... |
"....and the award for the best ongoing non-audio forum...." Pending, but keep it up, y'all. An entertaining insightful discourse in progress "is a Good Thing." and Martha and Snoop is an insight to behold... Being lazy and cheap, I inquired of Gemini to simply conflate my net names with my Walsh addiction... Came back rationally accurate and made a generalized attempt of rationalizing me, and got the pictures right. Vaguely positive, a nice id ego nudge if anything else. I'll take it and walk. Nothing else gets it totally right, and isn't totally expected, either. Although a fan of the surreal , I don't expect an AI to get everything just right or so about my presence at these keys and what or why I'm engaging the algorithms on a whim. I just enjoy the visuals and the music on strange galleries.... Don't let Your soul be replaced, either....;) |
Without asking to A.I. i can judge all your posts history as: friendly to all, spiced with humor, a bit elliptic sometimes and asking for brain work when a non English speakers read them...
