Easy thwart: Run a document through a couple different languages in Google translate then back to English.
The writing will be understandable if not especially elegant, and my understanding is it's like a hash: after a couple hops in Google Translate it's not possible to "un-translate" it back to the original source document. e.g. English -> Spanish -> Esparanto -> English won't yield the original document if you then run the translations in the reverse order, and it wouldn't really be possible to determine which languages it was run through in the first place using only the end result document.
Of course, I'm sure the government could just get the Google Translate logs if they really wanted to . . .

- marktangotango 4y agoI think this comment is a good example of why such an AI would be nigh impossible to implement, at least in a way to be meaningful. When I read this comment, at a high level it's very original like something GPT-3 could create. But this comment has meaning that GPT-3 gibberish wouldn't. Basically I think I'm implying that such an AI would effectively be AGI.
- ravenstine 4y agoMost people won't use a language-mixer of sorts. Do you think Apple or The Google are going to provide this as a feature on their devices? Of course not. The vast majority of people wouldn't even care to want such a feature. The whole point is to use this technology against everyday people, not the criminals who might be savvy enough to obfuscate their identity.
