I played with this. It doesn’t seem to get me from the test case I used, even though I have a lot of text out there under only a couple of pseudonyms.
Both it and I think that’s partly corpus structure (I’m a reply guy and my stuff is scattered all over the place interleaved with other people’s text). But another part is content. The stuff you write about interacting with your kids and family is really distinctive. I have a feeling that it might not help much if you rephrased it in Kelsey Piper’s style, because the model could still pick up on your message. You presumably don’t want to change that.
Of course that might not apply if you were talking about some other subject you felt you needed to avoid having associated with you.
I’ve been pretty sure for years that anybody who was really likely to care could trace either of my major pseudonyms back to my “real” name, and possibly link them with one another, based on content rather than style. It’s hard to write authentically on some topics without talking about your personal experiences, and if you collect enough of those you can make a whole bunch of inferences.
