I don’t like the idea of hacking a response to contain a watermark. I also don’t like the idea of false positives detections coming directly from Anthropic. If people read more AI generated content, people will probably start writing more in that style
The amount of times ‘delve’ appeared in general conversation in the last couple of years shows the influence LLMs have on society.
The flip side of this is that if AI-generated content becomes reliably identifiable and carries a stigma, then people might deliberately change their styles to be more diverse and human.
One example I've seen are junior employees at my company deliberately adopting a lowercase/less punctuation writing style so as to stand apart from AI.
