I can’t easily find the links (but I’m sure they are available), but there’s a [relatively] new science, that ‘fingerprints’ people’s writing style.

I think the technique, itself, is decades old, but has been vastly improved, using AI and algorithms.

It can be used to match things like anonymous rants, to individuals.

As I recall, the Unabomber's brother read a portion of the manifesto and recognized Ted's writing style.

Yes. It used the world’s oldest “AI”; the human brain.

But that is exactly how this works. From what I understand, the “enhanced” version of the technique is scarily accurate, able to match, using just a couple of sentences.
