> quick browse of the comments of the recently active ones, they look really likely to be alts.
Hmm isn't a spot check of comments somewhat tautological, since that is how the tool identifies alts (rather than something like IP address or time of day)? If this had been promoted as "find accounts with similar writing style to yours" would people immediately assume alts?
I would presume that OP is referring to the actual content of the comments. This just does stylometric analysis, which looks at word choice, but not what the arrangement of the words mean.
If some accounts are found to be stylometrically similar, and then a visual inspection also shows them all stating similar opinions, that latter piece of data is a strong signal.
