An IP address relates to the location of a user's computer or device, and a single person may have multiple IP addresses if they use different locations or networks. These IP addresses are grouped because the average embedding of each IP address's opening prompts (computed with all-MiniLM-L6-v2 sentence-transformer) has cosine similarity ≥ 0.75 and they share the same state (Virginia). Groups are merged transitively—if A matches B and B matches C, all three are grouped even if A and C are below 0.75.

USER: Story prompt: Madison was the most popular girl in highschool. Smart, outgoing, and so beautiful that nearly every boy in the school either has a crush on her out tried asking her out. One day, her friend asked, "Hey, Madison? Has it ever occurred to you get really dumb whenever you're around Ethan?" "What's that supposed to mean?", asked Madison. Ethan was a reserved and quiet kid who was the exact opposite of Madison in terms of popularity, but her equal in intelligence. He's also the only boy in high school who isn't attracted to her. Madison's friend continued, "Usually, you're pretty sharp, but whenever Ethan's around, that usually goes away. Like, poof. Gone." "I don't think that's true in the slightest." "Here, hold on. Hey, Ethan!" Can you come over here?" Ethan got up his desk and said, "Hey, what's up?" Madison's friend asked, "Okay, Madison. First. What is the quadratic equation? Second, explain the laws of thermodynamics." Madison answered both correctly and effortlessly. "Alright then. Ethan, stand next to Madison." "Alright." "Now, Madison. What is twenty times one?" Madison answered, "How the hell would I know?" "Ethan, step away from Madison.", to which Ethan replied, "Got it.", before complying. "Now, Madison. What is your favorite dish?" Madison replied, "I do love myself a expertly prepared medium rare steak with the finest blend of seasonings, cooked on butter, with a side of grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes." "I see. Okay, Ethan, go back next to Madi...
CHATBOT: As Madison's friend observed the interaction between Madison and Ethan, she couldn't help but notice the stark contrast in Madison's behavior. It was clear to her that Madison's intelligence seemed to diminish when Ethan was around, and it puzzled her deeply. The following day, Madison's friend couldn't contain her curiosity any longer and decided to confront her about the strange phenomenon. She caught up with Madison during lunch break and sat down beside her. "Madison, I really need to understand what's going on," her friend began. "Why is it that whenever you're around Ethan, you seem completely different, almost... less intelligent?" Madison looked taken aback for a moment, her eyebrows furrowing. But then, a sheepish smile played at her lips. "You noticed that too, huh?" she admitted. "Honestly, I've been trying to figure it out myself." Her friend leaned in, eager to hear the explanation. "You see, Ethan and I have been friends since we were kids. We practically grew up together," Madison explained. "And there's just this... comfort I feel around him. I don't have to constantly be on the top of my game, and I don't have to worry about impressing him." Her friend was intrigued. "But why does that result in you seeming less intelligent?" Madison shrugged. "I guess it's because I can let my guard down and relax when I'm with him. In a way, it's liberating. With everyone else, I always have to maintain this image of being smart and perfect. But with Ethan, I can be myself, flaws and all." Her friend nodded thoughtfully, beginning to understand. "So, you dumb yourself down to match his energy?" Madison chuckled. "Something like that. It's not that I'm actually dumb around him, per se. It's more like I allow myself to embrace a different side of me - a more carefree and relaxed side. And it's refreshing." Her friend smiled. "I get it now. It's not about intelligence necessarily. It's about being able to be your true self without the pressures of popularity and expectations." Madison nodded, her eyes gleaming with understanding. "Exactly. Ethan sees me for who I really am, and I value that friendship so much. It's a rare and beautiful thing." From that day forward, Madison's friend gained a newfound appreciation for the unique bond between Madison and Ethan. She no longer saw it as a matter of intelligence but as a testament to the strength of their friendship. And as she witnessed Madison's genuine happiness around him, she couldn't help but feel grateful...

Okay, Ethan, go back next to Madison." Ethan walked back to her. Madison's friend asked again, "Okay, Madison. What was your favorite dish again"? Madison replied with a long "Uhhhhh...." before replying, "... I don't know? An energy drink and leftovers. What about you, Ethan?" Ethan replied, "Big Mac.""Bob-Dart.", a mispronunciation of the word "Pop-Tart". Madison replied, "Nice.""Mhmm, yes. Very, very nice." before the two high-fived each other. Madison's friend looked at her as if to say she proved her own point.
CHATBOT: Madison's friend couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, clearly amused by the stark contrast in Madison's demeanor when Ethan was around. It was as if a newfound playfulness took over her, making her seem less intelligent than she truly was. The idea intrigued Madison, and she couldn't help but wonder why Ethan had such an effect on her. Determined to uncover the truth, Madison decided to approach Ethan after school. She waited for him near his locker, a curious smile playing on her lips. As he approached, she greeted him warmly, "Hey, Ethan! Mind if we have a little chat?" Ethan, caught off guard by Madison's sudden interest in him, nodded and replied, "Sure, Madison. What's on your mind?" As they strolled through the empty school hallways, Madison finally mustered the courage to ask the question that had been bugging her, "Ethan, has anyone ever told you that I seem different around you?" Ethan chuckled softly, his reserved demeanor softening. "Well, actually, yeah. A few people have pointed it out before. Why do you ask?" Madison paused for a moment, choosing her words carefully. "I've noticed it too. It's like a switch flips in me whenever you're around, and I become...less serious, less focused." Ethan smiled knowingly. "You know, Madison, there's something about you that allows me to be my true self. When I'm around you, I feel like I can let go of my inhibitions and just be. Maybe, in turn, it brings out a carefree side of you as well." Madison's eyes widened in realization. "So, you mean your quiet and introverted nature somehow makes me more relaxed and carefree?" Ethan nodded, a gentle spark in his eyes. "Exactly. It's like we balance each other out somehow. And maybe, just maybe, the reason I'm not attracted to you like the other guys is because I appreciate the person you are when you're with me." As Madison absorbed Ethan's words, she couldn't help but feel a newfound sense of gratitude and understanding. The qualities that drew others to her seemed to fade away when she was with Ethan, allowing her to embrace a different side of herself. It was a side she had never fully explored before, one that brought her pure joy and a sense of liberation. From that day forward, Madison and Ethan became inseparable. Their friendship blossomed even further, as they encouraged each other to embrace their true selves without fear of judgment. Madison discovered that popularity and intelligence weren't the only defining aspects of her identity. There was so much...

Madison's friend looked at her as if to say she proved her own point.
CHATBOT: Madison was baffled by the whole exchange. She couldn't understand why she seemed to lose her wit and intelligence whenever Ethan was around. It was unlike anything she had ever experienced before. Curiosity getting the better of her, she decided to confront Ethan after school. She found him sitting alone in the library, engrossed in a book. Madison slid into the seat across from him, studying his calm demeanor. "Ethan, can I ask you something? Something really strange is happening, and I need your help understanding it," she said, intrigued yet slightly hesitant. Ethan looked up from his book, his piercing blue eyes meeting Madison's gaze. "Sure, Madison. What's on your mind?" She took a deep breath, trying to formulate her thoughts. "Well, you see, whenever you're around, I feel like my intelligence takes a backseat. My friend pointed it out today, and it got me thinking. Do you have any idea why that might be?" Ethan leaned back in his chair, contemplating her question. "You know, Madison, I've noticed it too. But it's not because you become 'dumb' when I'm around. In fact, it's quite the opposite." Confused, Madison tilted her head. "What do you mean?" "Einstein once said, 'If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.' Whenever we talk, Madison, you simplify complex ideas effortlessly. You take the time to understand them thoroughly and then break them down into digestible pieces. It's a special gift you possess." Madison listened intently, a mix of astonishment and relief washing over her. "So, it's not that I become less intelligent, but rather, I become more focused on understanding things clearly?" "Exactly," Ethan affirmed, a kind smile forming on his face. "Not everyone has the ability to simplify complex concepts and communicate them effectively. It's a talent you possess, Madison, and it's something I greatly admire about you." As Madison absorbed Ethan's words, she couldn't help but feel an incredible sense of gratitude. She realized that her intelligence wasn't diminished when he was around; it was enhanced by their unique dynamic. From that day forward, Madison embraced her ability to simplify ideas, challenging herself to break down difficult concepts for others. She became a tutor for her classmates, creating study groups and helping her peers understand challenging subjects. Madison and Ethan forged a deep friendship, their bond growing stronger through their shared love for learning and their ability to bring out ...
