Just as vanity searches involve Googling yourself, "ego-prompting" means asking an AI what it knows about you. Curious about my digital footprint, I recently prompted Gemini, Copilot, and DeepSeek to describe who "Lorna Timbah" is.

The results were surreal! It was a mix of accurate professional history and hilarious hallucinations (like Gemini's creative take on my views on "digital sovereignty"). It’s a stark reminder that our online identities are no longer just static links, but rather they are dynamic narratives synthesized by AI. Navigating this "AI era" requires intentionality. After all, I’ve been online since 1997.
As Gemini ends it, I aim to stay iconic!
