    1. What could be done with this information that can’t be done just by looking at user’s post history?

    2. I routinely (weekly) purge/delete all my posts with a python script. How would this affect my summary?

      You can try for yourself: https://reddit-wrapped.kadoa.com/

      That being said, they have backups, even more so since they started selling reddit data to AI companies for training.

      I seriously doubt deleting your comments would do anything on that side, tho it does make them deleted from “normal” user searches.

          You’re right, tho AI tools are not so dissimilar from each other, so unless reddit developed their own proprietary tool (which I doubt), any tool can give you a rough idea of what AI can “tell” about you.

            I think the main thing is even if they were using the same underlying model (like chatgpt or Claude), they give them different prompts. For example, the one you linked seems more clearly prompted to give you a humorous roast style summary. Just from the screenshot from Reddit I get the impression they gave it a prompt about “you are an assistant for community moderators who are evaluating what course to take with a user” or something like that.

        Interesting, thanks for the link!

        For me:

        Error

        Not enough activity to generate a wrapped summary.

        I wouldn’t call this failsafe though, I’m sure some of my posts slip through and get archived. No idea how often those mirror sites copy the data.

        Edit: my script doesn’t just delete, it also edits the post and inserts “.” to try and fool those deleted post viewer sites (can’t remember the names)

          my script doesn’t just delete, it also edits the post and inserts “.”

          That’s smart! It could actually trick the backups, since backups don’t check the content they’re actually saving.
