AIs can guess where Reddit users live and how much they earn

Large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 can identify a person’s age, location, gender and income with up to 85 per cent accuracy simply by analysing their posts on social media.

But the AIs also picked up on subtler cues, like location-specific slang, and could estimate a salary range from a user’s profession and location.

I'm just gonna put it out there that I live in the state of Georgia, I work for a office supply company as acoordinator making $153,000 a year working 30 hours a week.

Alright I'll get the AI on the case to see if it can determine those things from your post.

I'm a crackhead in MD, I make about $100 a week scrapping catalytic converters.
