> What I do care about is the theft of my identity. A person may learn from the words I write but that person doesn't end up mimicking the way I write. They are still uniquely themselves.
Of course they do, to some extent. Just because it's been infeasible to track the exact "graph of influence", that's literally how humans have learned to speak and write for as long as we've had language and writing.
> I'm concerned that the more I write the more my text becomes my identifier. I use a handle so I can talk more openly about some issues.
That's a much more serious concern, in my view. But I believe that LLMs are both the problem and solution here: "Remove style entropy" is just a prompt away, these days.
