> I do not have direct ML experience at the moment. I’ve only run simpler regressions. I was making an educated guess as to the tech which may emerge, and it doesn’t seem far-fetched since it probably would not require language comprehension or higher order reasoning. I would love someone who’s worked with ML to weigh in.

Aha. Indeed. I would prefer to have someone actively working in ML to weigh in as well.

It’s called styleometry and it’s a very real thing, and can be done with very high accuracy. There are academic papers on it (just search Google scholar for stylometry). Do not expect things you post under another username to be never be linked to you. There’s just no publicly available tool to run it.

OK: it's fairly trivial for someone like me to do this, and you don't even need "ML" to do it. It's just counting, binary trees and simple models.

Would you be interested in PoC'ing it out for such a trivial project?

Absolutely not. Just because something is easy to do doesn't make it a good idea.
