Comment on OpenAI has built a text watermarking method to detect chatgpt written content
CameronDev@programming.dev 5 weeks agoThat is a long video, is the paper published somewhere?
Im willing to accept that you can statistically “watermark” the text, but I’m not convinced that it would be tamper resistant, which is a large part of what makes a watermark useful. If it can’t survive an idiot with a thesaurus, its probably not gonna be terribly useful.

It can likely also be defeated by adding “In the style of X” to a prompt, changing the distribution and pattern of the responses.

…but that output is also from the AI so it would still be watermarked lol

You could feed it through a different, smaller model that could even be self-hosted. It isn’t difficult to make a model that rephrases an input in another style.

Ah, okay. That’s fair. It wasn’t clear they meant a different system lol.
