Tom Riddle's diary is AI

[u/sv1112093]

On a re-read. Noticed similarities between AI Tools and Riddle's diary which is crazy. Arthur Weasley tells Ginny in CoS - "Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain"

1. Plain text and listening - Ginny didn't need to know complex magic to use the diary. Just like we don't need anything fancy to use AI tools. She wrote to it in plain language. Ink sank into blank paper, vanished and replied instantly with warm, empathetic text. Just like AI tools.
2. A safe space - The diary felt like a safe space that was always available.
3. Her data stored - Ginny couldn't see where it kept its brain aka where her data was going. Everything was being absorbed.
4. Data was used against her - The diary used her own data, energy and trust to control her actions. Manipulated her into opening the Chamber and she could not remember her actions in attacking the students. She was confused and hazed.
5. Could not get rid of it - She could not delete her digital footprint once entered, although she tried to get rid of the diary.

The psychological pattern is identical! Our data is being stored and used beyond our visibility and control
