A tool that lets you identify a work as belonging to a specific author with relative certainty would be enormously useful to matching potentially fake texts and their authors. There are lots of less technical ways to identify political dissidents ^_^.
But, if you were able to classify people by race, education, sexual-orientation, or even psychological profile, then I could see that becoming a powder-keg. Thanks to the internet, there are a LOT of people who value anonymous self-expression. Destroying that could prevent a lot of excellent works from being created.

It's a text classification system; it can be trained on just about anything. I'm not sure how accurate it would be for other purposes. Things like that are already out there, e.g. http://genderanalyzer.com/ http://genderanalyzer.com/
- thegoleffect 17y agoI suppose that its more about accuracy when it comes to those touchy topics, like being condemned as a political dissident for being an outlier in the results of the code >_>.
