Well, of course. The stigma surrounding AI use will only get worse with stuff like this. I'm not interested in having people single me out for using AI. So glad I switched away from Anthropic.

The stigma surrounding AI use will get worse if... People know AI is being used? Sorry how does maintaining heightened paranoia by omitting clear signals help exactly?

I'm not interested in "helping" people call me "slop fetishist" or "clanker lover", thanks.

Hiding your use of AI will only make things worse when people find out. Look at how badly the CEO of Saber Interactive is crashing out after they lied about firing a writer to replace them with AI.

I don't hide my AI use at all.

So, it seems the watermark is less what it sounds like (a stamp) and more an "imperceptible statistical pattern woven into the choice of words and sentence structures." Does that mean AI responses will sound even more "AI?" Like, will it become even easier to detect on a read-through because of the word choices and patterning? I see the word "imperceptible" there, but what does this mean in this context? My non-tech…

Will anyone even really care (outside of detecting cheaters in academia)? I see people talking about LLM based posts all the time even at work in Slack conversations where a manager verbatim pastes a clearly AI output as a response for some question and while people seem to care internally they don't actually seem to call them out.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Then why care about a watermark?
