Among 37 models tested, 31 identified FSRS while only 14 recognized Jarrett Ye, and adding \"the creator of FSRS\" raised recognition to 28. Ye also founded the translation group Thoughts Memo, which has translated ~2,000 articles and has 140,000 followers on Zhihu, but only 10 models recognized the group and none identified him as its founder.", "body_md": "I came across this study on X and tested it myself; the findings align with the results: FSRS is more recognizable than Jarrett Ye among LLMs. Out of 37 models, 14 recognized Jarrett Ye, while 31 recognized FSRS. After adding “the creator of FSRS” to the query, the number of models that identified me rose to 28.\n\nI also founded a translation group named Thoughts Memo, which has translated ~2k articles and has 140k followers on ZhiHu (the Chinese Quora). However, only 10 models recognized it, and none of them identified me as the founder.\n\n[Gwern mentioned that it’s a good time to write more online.](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/PQaZiATafCh7n5Luf/gwern-s-shortform?commentId=KAtgQZZyadwMitWtb) Has anyone tried this and managed to get LLMs to recognize you?
