A Reddit share of stats from the lechmazur/writing project: 400 short stories per model, extracting favorite names and phrases. Convergence is striking — Mara appears in nearly every model's Top 10 (GPT-6 Astra, Kimi K3, DeepSeek V4, Grok 4.7, Qwen 3.8), with Mira, Maren, Elias and Elara also ubiquitous; Claude favors Ines/Ilse/Wren while Gemini leans Julian/Clara/Silas. A fun fingerprint for spotting AI-generated fiction.
