Use the AI compass to chart your AI archetype

A new AI compass tool classifies individuals into 30 AI archetypes, including sceptic, Luddite, and prophet, each with a patron saint. The author identifies as 'The True Believer' with patron saint Amanda Askell, while Simon Willison is classified as 'The Garage Tinkerer' with himself as patron saint.

Use the AI compass to chart your AI archetype #

7 July 2026

Find out where you sit on the AI compass, which is a little similar to the vote compass. There are thirty AI classifications including sceptic, Luddite, conscientious objector, doomsday prepper, founder, and prophet. Each has a patron saint. Mine is Amanda Askell, though I’m not entirely sure I agree with my archetype, “The True Believer”, but who knows.

Simon Willison — should we dub him Mr AI? — is, according to the compass, “The Garage Tinkerer”, whose patron saint is none other than… Simon Willison. What are the chances?
