It's probably less likely to work because people often use alts to participate in discussions that they wouldn't want to associate the primary identity with. Whether that be discussions about their employer, about politics, or something else, the subjects an alt particulates in will likely be different.
Style works because few people are capable of fundamentally altering their style even if they tried.
- nstart 2y agoMy final year project in uni was a tool to detect plagiarism by analyzing whether parts of an assignment had been outsourced to anyone else (basically did one author write the document on their own). Or if two projects by the same student were actually written by one person. For what was at the time an extremely naive implementation of various stylometric methods it worked surprisingly well. Even I was shocked when I managed to demonstrate the tool working. People should read about this branch of studies if they care at all about anonymity online.

I suspect that you could." nemotron-4-340b: "One might find it intriguing to observe if you have the capability to disguise your statements by utilizing a common LLM as a filter. It's plausible to believe that you could." gemma-2-27b got verbose on us: Here are a few ways to rewrite the sentence "I would be amused to see whether or not you could effectively disguise your comments by utilizing a common LLM" to reflect different styles: *More formal:* * "It is hypothesized that a commodity LLM could be employed to effectively obfuscate your comments." * "Utilizing a commodity LLM for comment anonymization is a plausible strategy." *More casual:* * "I wonder if you could fool a regular LLM with your comments?" * "Could a basic LLM make your comments look like they came from someone else?" *More skeptical:* * "While it's possible, it's unlikely a commodity LLM could effectively mask your comments to the point of complete anonymity." * "Are you sure a simple LLM can truly hide your identity? It might not be enough to protect you." *More direct:* * "Using a commodity LLM for comment anonymization is a viable option." * "Can commodity LLMs effectively anonymize your comments? Probably." The best way to rewrite the sentence depends on the context and the tone you want to achieve. ---- All of the above courtesy of perplexity.ai's playground.
