OK, so before you publish something you give it to GPT-3 with the prompt "write the following in the style of $X". Run the resulting text through a few AIs to confirm it says that it was probably written by $X. So, either to anony

A fair number of these are someone dropping off two envelopes from a car and you can’t really see if there is another person in the car. Honest question: is it actually illegal if two people drive together to the drop box for the person in

Then, as an optimization, you change the text to “submit 100 times”, and now it’s you that posted 100 of those tweets. Also, a little timer field where you tell it how long to wait until it tweets it. Perfect.
