"i trained an ai chatbot on my childhood journal entries - so that i could engage in real-time dialogue with my 'inner child'"

Oh god, that's a scary thought. Well, if I had childhood journals it would be, but maybe it's not so scary for this person.

"i kept diaries for about 10+ years of my life, writing almost everyday -- about my dreams, fears, secrets"

"the content ranged from complaining about homework, to giddiness i felt from talking to my crush"

"some days were very mundane, some rather insightful"

"after scribing a ton of journal entries and feeding them into the model, i got working responses that felt eerily similar to how i think i would have responded during that time"

"first, i asked her a bunch of questions about her about her worldview:"

"Present Michelle: What do you think about the world?"

"Young Michelle: I think the world is amazing and there is so much to learn and explore. I also think it's important to make a difference in the world, and to be kind and understanding to others."

Model used was GPT-3. She doesn't elaborate on how the model was trained.
