First sentence of your linked article: Many people don't want the things they say online to be connected with their offline identities.
I do 100% agree. Sadly, I don't think it'll be possible to stay anonymous in the future. Not because of credentials or personal data, but the things we say and the way we say them online. These things will be enough to link personal accounts and alt-accounts. Sure, you can obscure and keep quiet about things, but what's the point then anyways?
- f38zf5vdt 4y agoDisagree. AI text generation is going to ruin stylometric analysis as anonymous online communities get spammed by ever increasing amounts of automated content based on inputs learned from random subsets of users. A good, helpful AI generation bot is an easy way to harvest up-votes on content platforms like Reddit or HN and subsequently manipulate content.
- WHA8m 4y agogood point and I agree with the effect, but I'm not sure about the scope. I'm not sure if it will be enough noice to equalize it. Something else that comes to my mind: Lot of people on HN (me included) share rather personal stuff here. Everything I ever said with this account should (in theory) fall in a consistent picture. But those bots are not there to mimic that. They have other purposes (some of which you already mentioned).
