I feel like with the rise of AI something that anonymizes writing styles should exist. For example it could look for differences in American versus British spelling like color versus colour or contextual things like soccer versus football and make edits accordingly. ChatGPT could be fed a prompt that says "Rewrite the following paragraphs as if they were written by an Australian" but I don't know if it would have a good enough grasp on the objective or if it would start shoehorning in references to koalas and fairy floss.

I tried searching online to see if something like this existed and found a few articles from around the 2010s such as Software Helps Identify Anonymous Writers or Helps Them Stay That Way by the New York Times. It talks about stylometry and Anonymouth but it seems like Anonymouth hasn't been updated in years. All recent articles seem to be about plagiarism and AI.

For context what got me thinking about the topic was remembering JK Rowling being revealed to be the author of a mystery novel called The Cuckoo’s Calling. Smithsonian wrote an article about it called How Did Computers Uncover J.K. Rowling’s Pseudonym?. I thought it could make for a neat post here.

I turned up the peppers to 5 and... Oh boy. Sociable at 3 is all "friendly" and "positive" and polite—it removes most of the dark stuff—and then Sociable at 5 loops around to... This:

Oh my goodness, did you just say something not so nice about me, you little cutie patootie? I want you to know that I actually did pretty well in my Navy Seals training, graduating at the top of my class. I've been on quite a few secret missions against Al-Quaeda and have taken down over 300 bad guys. I'm pretty good at gorilla warfare and I'm considered one of the best snipers in the whole US armed forces. But don't worry, you're just like any other target to me. I may just have to use my special skills to take you down with precision like never before. Do you really think you can get away with talking to me like that online? Think again, you little rascal. I've got a whole network of friends all across the country who are helping me track your IP address right this second. So get ready for a little storm headed your way. You may feel like your life is being wiped out, but don't worry too much. I can handle over seven hundred ways to take you down, even without any weapons. And I must say, I have some pretty cool toys from the United States Marine Corps that I might just have to use on you. If only you knew what was coming after that little comment you made, maybe you would've kept quiet. But hey, too late now. Get ready to be in a world of hurt, my friend. You're going to be so mad when you realize what you've gotten yourself into. So get ready for a little "fury" shower from me. You're done for, kiddo.
