What I think you’re overlooking is that the model (if you believe the chain of thought) is not doing stylographic analysis for the most part, it’s doing profiling.

Broadly:

British-presenting / ethno-nationalist / writes at length in a cultured register / HBD believer / argues for the ideal of the gentleman-scholar and a leisured aristocracy / argues from utilitarian logic therefore likely rat-adjacent + some other stuff -> 2rafa.

Assuming you don’t put these convictions in your hypothetical internal research reports, I would expect it to be orders of magnitude harder to identify you.

It’s interesting that it calls me an ethno-nationalist. I can’t recall every comment, but I’ve always said that while I’m sympathetic to the earnest motivations of many given the mainstay intertribal violence has been throughout human history, I’m not an ethnonationalist and I do think functioning multiracial countries are quite viable when properly governed and when care is taken with their composition.

Ah, no, sorry, it calls me an ethno-nationalist. The quotes were mine, you’re just the closest person in broad profiling terms whose name it knows.

It thinks you’re a nostalgist with a “somewhat rosy view of pre-war gentleman-scholar society” or words to that effect :P

You can take the AI out of San Francisco, but…
