JP, re AI, I've always thought it might be fun to take a work written in
multiple voices and run them all through one of those
Gunning-Fogg-Flesch-Whosits style-analysis programs. You know, the kind that
purport to isolate a writer's syntactic fingerprint via some kind of
preposition-frequency matrix. Would the author really be disappearing inside
all his narrators, or would some consistent figure in the carpet still
remain? Does anybody know more than me, i.e. something, about these
algorithms?
