I was thinking about this myself, so I went to another search engine (Bing) which I never use otherwise, and jumped right into their "Copilot" search via the top navbar.

Man, it was pretty incredible!

I asked a lot of questions about myself (whom I know best, of course) and first of all, it answered super quickly to all my queries letting me drill in further. After reading through its brief, on-point answers and the sources it provided, I'm just shocked at how well it worked while giving me the feeling that yes, it can potentially – fundamentally change things. There are problems to solve here, but to me it seems that if this is where we're at today, yes in the future it has the potential to change things to some extent for sure!

What do you mean with "search about myself" here?

I just wrote my name and asked questions about who it is, what he does, what he writes about etc. I have a personal blog, and I wrote a master's thesis recently. I also have a pretty detailed partially public LinkedIn profile and GitHub so if it can dig around it will find out more than enough for me to assess its ability to provide information. I also have a relatively rare name, there's only five or so of us with my full name globally so it cannot get too confused.

Ok, so not really like "what is the nature of self". I actually was more expecting something like your answer, but still asked as I would have been more interested to discuss more about other way to engage in such an inquiry.

Ok, haha. Well this question I ask myself too much already incl. reading books etc. on the topic. What is self, what is life, what is the "fear of death". Here I wrote down some highlights from Becker's Denial of Death if you're interested. These are deep topics, not sure if it makes sense talking about such fundamentally human issues with LLMs no matter how good they are right now: https://www.lostbookofsales.com/notes/the-denial-of-death-by...
