Our Scoring Methodology
Understanding how AI perceives and ranks public figures in the digital age.
Introduction
At Famechecker, we aim to provide insightful metrics on how celebrities are perceived and represented within the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence. Our AI Visibility Score is a composite metric designed to quantify a celebrity's presence and impact as interpreted by leading AI models and data points.
Understanding a celebrity's AI visibility is crucial in an era where AI-driven search, content generation, and information retrieval are becoming increasingly prevalent. This score helps contextualize how various personalities are 'seen' by these advanced systems.
Core Principles
- Multi-faceted Analysis: We believe AI visibility isn't one-dimensional. Our scoring considers several key categories that collectively paint a picture of a celebrity's digital and AI-centric footprint.
- AI-Driven Insights: A significant component of our scoring involves querying and analyzing responses from prominent large language models (LLMs) and AI search tools. We currently leverage insights derived from models comparable to ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity AI, and Gemini (Google). (Note: Specific models and versions used may evolve as the AI landscape changes).
- Data-Informed, Not Definitive: Scores are based on patterns and information extracted by AI from vast datasets. They represent a snapshot and should be interpreted as indicative rather than absolute measures of fame or influence.
- Objective Framework: We employ a standardized framework of questions and evaluation criteria across all celebrities to ensure comparability, focusing on publicly observable data and trends.
Key Scoring Categories
Our AI Celebrity Visibility Score is derived from evaluating celebrities across the following five core categories, each scored from 0 to 100:
This category assesses the frequency and prominence of a celebrity in discussions, queries, and content generated or indexed by AI systems. A higher score indicates that the AI is more likely to reference or discuss the celebrity.
We evaluate the celebrity's perceived influence on popular culture, societal trends, and public discourse as interpreted by AI. This includes recognition of their contributions to art, social movements, or their general iconic status.
This measures the celebrity's connection to technology, innovation, and artificial intelligence itself. Factors include public statements on AI, involvement in tech-related ventures, use of digital platforms, or association with AI-driven projects.
This category considers the duration and consistency of a celebrity's presence in the public eye and media, as understood by AI. A long and sustained career often contributes to a stronger data footprint for AI models.
We assess how often and significantly a celebrity features in internet memes, viral trends, and online discussions that contribute to their digital "virality." This indicates a strong, often informal, presence in the collective digital consciousness that AI models pick up on.
How Scores Are Aggregated
For each celebrity, our system prompts the currently leading AI models with structured queries related to these categories. The textual responses and any explicit or implicit scoring provided by the AI are then parsed and normalized to fit our 0-100 scale for each category. An overall "Average AI Visibility Score" is then calculated from these individual category scores.
The "notes" or "explanations" provided alongside scores in our report are typically concise summaries derived from the AI's reasoning or the most salient points it identified for a given score.
Limitations and Considerations
- AI Bias: LLMs can reflect biases present in their training data. Our methodology attempts to use broad queries, but inherent biases in the AI models may still somehow influence outcomes.
- Data Freshness: AI models are trained on data up to a certain point. While we aim to use up-to-date models, the scores reflect the AI's knowledge cut-off and the information available up to that point. Real-time events might not be immediately reflected. Our data itself is updated regularly, at least once a day, but the AI models may not always have the latest information.
- Dynamic Landscape: The field of AI is constantly changing. Our scoring system and the AI models we reference will evolve to adapt to these advancements.
We are committed to refining our methodology to provide the most relevant and insightful AI visibility metrics. If you have questions or feedback, please contact us.
