Thank you for the link. Allow me to note how the Clown character
conceivably serves as an analog for Bacon himself.
    It proves rather futile for trolls to try to disguise themselves
behind multiple usenet pseudonyms. For a creature's core characteristics
always emerge fully formed from its words - at least to discerning
readers.
    There's no disguising Bacon's wit regardless of the nom de plume
he hides behind. Can ChatGPT change this playing field?

As an ngram maven, you may find this interesting:

    Is ChatGPT Transforming Academics' Writing Style?

    Based on one million arXiv papers submitted from May 2018
    to January 2024, we assess the textual density of ChatGPT's
    writing style in their abstracts by means of a statistical
    analysis of word frequency changes. Our model is calibrated
    and validated on a mixture of real abstracts and ChatGPT-
    modified abstracts (simulated data) after a careful noise
    analysis. We find that ChatGPT is having an increasing impact
    on arXiv abstracts, especially in the field of computer
    science, where the fraction of ChatGPT-revised abstracts is
    estimated to be approximately 35%, if we take the output of
    one of the simplest prompts, "revise the following sentences",
    as a baseline. We conclude with an analysis of both positive
    and negative aspects of the penetration of ChatGPT into
    academics' writing style.
