You’re right, tho AI tools are not so dissimilar from each other, so unless reddit developed their own proprietary tool (which I doubt), any tool can give you a rough idea of what AI can “tell” about you.
I think the main thing is even if they were using the same underlying model (like chatgpt or Claude), they give them different prompts. For example, the one you linked seems more clearly prompted to give you a humorous roast style summary. Just from the screenshot from Reddit I get the impression they gave it a prompt about “you are an assistant for community moderators who are evaluating what course to take with a user” or something like that.
I tried it and it’s way off for me because it gives too much weight to submitted posts. I don’t have very many submissions so even when I selected recent only, it focused on one guide post for a game I wrote many years ago and made the profile 80% about that. But I guess that’s a problem at some point before the LLM is involved. There are some other similarly non-LLM problems too like making the most used terms section list almost only subreddit names.
When I limited it to recent comments only it did a better job. It even listed “Humanity’s general incompetence” as the fifth of my “top 3” topics.

That being said, they have backups, even more so since they started selling reddit data to AI companies for training.
I seriously doubt deleting your comments would do anything on that side, tho it does make them deleted from “normal” user searches.
Interesting, thanks for the link!
For me:
I wouldn’t call this failsafe though, I’m sure some of my posts slip through and get archived. No idea how often those mirror sites copy the data.
Edit: my script doesn’t just delete, it also edits the post and inserts “.” to try and fool those deleted post viewer sites (can’t remember the names)
That’s smart! It could actually trick the backups, since backups don’t check the content they’re actually saving.
To be clear, the link you’re sharing is not what reddit is using
