Yeah, that's the idea. Originally I went the "random characters then delete" route but realized that if I used randomized book excerpts from the public domain, the AI, or even a human, would have a very hard time figuring out what was real and what was trash. Ultimately, even if I can't modify them all, I can modify enough to make it easier for the buyer to just filter my username out in order to keep the results clean.
