Launder it by freely giving it to a large-scale data vacuuming/surveillance operation?

  Using a local LLM could work just as well if all you are doing is asking it slightly change existing text. The concept itself paired with a throwaway account(s) seems to be better than other alternatives like just deleting everything.

Though I think it would be far more interesting to make a purpose built anti-stylometry tool, that explicitly tries to analyze for and mute the signals stylometry uses. Edit: what I'm talking about is apparently called "adversarial stylometry": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stylometry#Adversarial_stylometry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stylometry#Adversarial_stylome... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adversarial_stylometry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adversarial_stylometry

  > All adversarial stylometry shares the core idea of faithfully paraphrasing the source text so that the meaning is unchanged but the stylistic signals are obscured Having an LLM rewrite a comment would do this entirely, no? Are you just interested from an academic perspective how one might build something more surgical, that only changes some words in a comment?

Yes and no. ChatGPT seems like a blunt instrument, and given it's not purpose built, it could miss certain characteristics that could enable identification. Also LLMs kind of have their own style, and adopting that particular style is likely self-defeating to getting a message out (e.g. I would tend to ignore something that sounded like it was written by ChatGPT). Manual correction then be needed, but it would be hard with such a system, because I think that would tend to re-introduce the author's style.

  "... purpose built anti-stylometry tool, that explicitly tries to analyze for and mute the signals stylometry uses." Just mention a "devil strip" in every post and call it a day.
