   When writing THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE Thomas Jefferson sought to   
   simulate the style of Satan's speeches in PARADISE LOST by Milton. It's   
   not plagiarism proper per se, but it's something similar. Tom Kratman   
   used to do the same sort of thing here. He channeled the styles of other   
   authors to flame with flair.   
       In my naivety, AI's Large Language Models seemed suitable to set up   
   a side-by-side stylistic schema between the THE DECLARATION and   
   PARADISE LOST. It never happened. Instead AI spewed out generalities.   
       Apparently AI always answers, even when it's ignorant of the   
   subject matter. (RAH said Plebes are expected to always answer   
   upperclassmen at West Point, no? If so, it sounds superlatively stupid.)   
       One thing led to another in my search for a side-by-side. Eventually   
   Noam Chomsky's methodology showed up as a potential solution. It then   
   became clear to give it up due to my lack of the requisite skill set.
