A decent sized Qwen 3 or Gemma 3 might well do the job. Mistral 3.1 Small is great too.
(Personally I'd be happy to pipe my email through an LLM from a respectable vendor that promises not to train on my inputs - Anthropic, OpenAI and Gemini all promise that for paid API usage.)
As these models are trained on every piece of content ever written online, there are going to be a whole bunch of identity cracks, the equivalent of brute forcing a password.
AIs are going to make judgments about your character and personality based on everything you've ever written.
Guesses are going to come out about which burner accounts you've used, because the same password was used on otherwise unrelated accounts.
Essays you wrote in high school are going to resurface and be connected to your adult persona.
There was a time when an 8 character password was the state of the art, and now it can be cracked instantly. In the same way, sleuthing that would have been an impractical amount of work until recently is going to pierce the privacy veil of the internet in ways that could be really uncomfortable for people who have spent 3 decades assuming the internet is an anonymous place.
For Norbert to name his son Ful Rod seems like a cycle of abuse.
I specifically avoided mentioning anything that would trigger any tut-tutting about the whole thing being a dumb exercise. Just anonymous linear regression.
Then when I finished I asked it to guess what we were talking about. It nailed it: the reasoning output was spot on, considering every clue: The amounts, the precision, the rate of decrease, the dates I had been asking about and human psychology. It briefly considered the chance of tracking some resource to plan for replacement but essentially said "nah human cares more about looking good this summer".
Then it gave me all the caveats and reprimands...
