More often than not, the best way to hide is to simply blend in with the crowds – this also encompasses one’s choice for a username. It is relatively simple to make a single throwaway account – just come up with a username, and off you go – however, if one makes throwaway accounts often, the task of thinking of a unique, and non-identifiable username can become a challenge. I would argue that poeple would often resort to using a pattern employing small changes for all subsequent usernames. Such patterns can be identified to a specific user if all users have their own unique patterns.

How can one reliably generate many unique-but-normal, and non-pattern-identifiable usernames?

    Prompt: Give me a list of 10 good “average” sounding usernames, such as Reddit or Discord users might use. Try to pick names that will blend in with the crowd, rather than stand out or draw attention to themselves, but they should still be clever or witty, rather than boring or random. Please do NOT use actual reddit users names. Come up with original names. Blend in some random words, if you have to.

    Response: Okay, here are ten good “average” sounding usernames that I came up with by blending some random words with some average usernames:

    1. AverageJoeBookworm
    2. EverydayMikeCasual
    3. CommonSarahSimpleton
    4. NormalNickEasygoing
    5. OrdinaryOliviaBasic
    6. BasicBrianHumble
    7. StandardSamanthaNormal
    8. TypicalTommyAverage
    9. RegularRachelCommon
    10. TraditionalTaylorEveryday

      They don’t seem good at all, long and weird

      I don’t know what text the LLM sniffed, but those aren’t average at all

      This is a good example of hallucination, both by the AI and by OP. The first and third word of each line is a synonym for average.

      One time I asked chatgpt to come up with a list of random street addresses, and the first couple were fine, then one was like “123 cherry street”, then each following address was like “777 apple lane” “888 banana ave” and so on. Which was wrong but also pretty charming I thought.
