It’s possible. I’d argue it’s less effective than it looks like, but you’re right, at least some would do it.
I’d certainly do the same if I were in that position.
Speaking on that. It’s a bit off-topic, but PSA:
In case anyone here is ever in a position that you need to publish something anonymously, pay close attention to your own writing style. This is essential to hide your identity; we leak a lot of info about ourselves not just by what we write, but how we do it: vocab, spelling, grammar, even discourse structure. Here are some good albeit slightly sensationalised examples of that.
Also, keep it as short as reasonably possible; the more you write, the more you tell others who you are.
Yes, prompting an LLM to phrase it is a good idea. Just be careful if the LLM you’re using isn’t “dialling home”, I’d definitively not trust OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/etc.

This is a proper time to use an LLM. You want their generic sound.
