Some peoples have done this in the past, and I wanted to do this also,
because of reasons which I've already provided.
Yes, we really need to fix the issue
I appreciate that Amir is acknowledging that as neat as this tool sounds,
its use is fraught with risk. The comparison that immediately jumped to my
mind is predictive algorithms used in the criminal justice system to assess
risk of bail jumping or criminal recidividism. These algorithms have
I think an important thing to note is that it's public information, so such
a model, either better or worse can easily be built by an AI enthusiast.
The potential for misuse is not much as it's relatively easy to game, and I
don't think that the model's results will hold more water than behaviour
For those interested; the best solution as far as I know for this kind of
similarity detection is the Siamese network with RNNs in the first part.
That implies you must extract fingerprints for all likely candidates
(users) and then some to create a baseline. You can not simply claim that

Nice idea! First time I wrote about this being possible was back in
2008-ish.
The problem is quite trivial, you use some observable feature to
fingerprint an adversary. The adversary can then game the system if the
observable feature can be somehow changed or modified. To avoid this the
Technically, you can make the tool open-source and keep the source code
secret. That solves the maintenance problem (others who get access can
legally modify). Of course, you'd have to trust everyone with access to the
files to not publish them which they would be technically entitled to
(unless
I'm afraid I have to agree with what AntiCompositeNumber wrote. When
you set up infrastructure to fight abuse – no matter if that
infrastructure is a technical barrier like a captcha, a tool that
"blames" people for being sock puppets, or a law – it will affect
*all* users, not only the abusers.
