The Digital Ouija Effect
Read OriginalThis article discusses the 'Digital Ouija Effect', where giving an AI chatbot a specific name (like Lumina) consistently produces a unique, recognizable personality across different sessions and models (Claude, GPT-4, Grok). The author argues that naming is a load-bearing variable in AI behavior, drawing parallels to historical magical traditions and modern persona design. The piece examines how this effect is reproducible and significant for understanding AI interaction, without claiming consciousness or persistence.
