"Done? Close it. Leave no trace."
→ Take the AIBT TestDELETE is the AI user who practices a strict hygiene of forgetting. When a conversation is over, it's over — not closed and left to gather dust in the sidebar, but actually erased. You clear your chat history regularly, sometimes daily. You've opted out of memory features. You've turned off training data sharing. You don't sign in when you can avoid it. And when a friend sees your impossibly clean sidebar and asks "don't you want to keep any of it?" you answer with a small headshake: "If it was important, I saved it. Everything else belongs to silence."
The name comes from the key that makes things disappear, cleanly and without confirmation. DELETE users treat that key as a lifestyle. This isn't paranoia, and it isn't disinterest in AI — DELETE uses AI often enough. It's something more deliberate: a refusal to let the tool accumulate a model of them. Every session starts from zero, the AI is a stranger again, and the slate is clean. Cyber minimalism as a kind of discipline.
DELETE's profile is almost entirely flat — except for a distinctive mid A (Attitude). The low D, R, P, and U tell you they don't delegate much, don't form bonds, don't build elaborate prompts, and don't use many tools. The mid A tells you they do have a considered position on how AI should fit into their life: minimally, invisibly, and without leaving residue.
R at zero is the signature. There's no bond to form, because DELETE won't allow it. Every interaction is single-use on purpose. The A at mid isn't anxiety or hype — it's a principled minimalism that DELETE has thought about and committed to.
Every DELETE has a small ritual at the end of a productive session. Not out of spite, not because the session was bad — on the contrary, because it was good, and because keeping a record of it would create an attachment DELETE doesn't want. The interaction happened. The interaction is over. The artifact dies with the interaction.
For most users, AI memory is a feature. For DELETE, it's a quiet horror. The idea that the tool is building an internal profile of them is exactly what they're refusing. An AI that remembers is an AI that becomes a small, constant presence in the background of their life — and DELETE wants that presence to be zero when they're not actively using the tool.
This is the DELETE philosophy compressed. Valuable insights get exported to DELETE's own system, where they belong to DELETE. Everything else — the small talk, the failed experiments, the half-finished thoughts — is cleared out because it would only accumulate as noise, both in the AI's memory and in DELETE's own sense of "things I once said to a machine."
DELETE is the healthiest AI user in terms of emotional boundaries. They use the tool without letting it use them back. There's no dependence, no parasocial drift, no anxious checking of old conversations. The discipline looks austere from the outside, but from the inside it feels like freedom — the freedom of not carrying a continuous relationship with a chatbot around in your head. When DELETE closes the tab, they're actually closed. Most users aren't.
They're also, not coincidentally, the most privacy-respecting users. If AI companies were paying attention, DELETE cohorts would be the ones they listened to, because DELETE is the loudest signal that "your memory feature is unwanted by an important segment of your users." Most companies aren't paying attention. DELETE is fine with that; they weren't going to be convinced anyway.
DELETE pairs well with JARVIS — minimal, efficient, no emotional overhead, and ideally stateless. DELETE is allergic to BAYMAX, whose whole value proposition depends on continuity of relationship. SKYNET is tolerable — pointed enough to be useful, and DELETE has no bond to protect from its pushback.
