In her latest newsletter she listed:

Are you “in the weights”?
In the Weights lets you type in a name and see whether today’s major AI models “know” who the person is—recognizing them from memory alone, without looking anything up online. AI models are built from billions of internal numbers (the “weights”), and some of what they absorb during training gets baked permanently into those numbers. So, a person the model can describe from memory is, in this site’s words, “in the weights.” It might be worth a look, whatever you think of AI. Keep in mind it’s a rough instrument, better treated as a curiosity and not a scorecard. (Yes, I am in the weights, as a publishing industry expert, top 3 percent.)

So I thought I'd test it and see how well AI knows me. I'm attaching the information in the post and my commentary below.

GPT 5.5 is correct
GPT 5.4 thinks I'm a community worker
Claude is accurate
Claude Haiku is accurate
Grok is correct
Gemini light thinks I'm a social worker
Kimi changed my short story collection from The Cuckoo's Song to The Cuckoo's Flight
Deepseek is wacked and thinks I'm a social worker and completely changed my novel title
GLM Flash thinks my novel is called The Bridge-I have no books by that title at all. Weird.
Mistral is all accurate

I was using Chat GPT, but have switched to Claude and imported all my data. I use AI to help me research, brainstorm, analyse novels or articles, help me with structuring novels and articles, write social media posts, write emails where I'm too angry and blunt to be trusted with a keyboard. I'm also experimenting with having Claude do a daily task of collect articles of interest that I can view and see if it sparks ideas. I also use it for teaching to help me differentiate, spark ideas for resources, etc.

I've also been thinking about how to support Generative Engine Optimisation for my website and to that end have added some extra features like my media kits, questions and answers.

If you use AI, what model do you use and what for?
