Who will be able to test to see if a piece of text is watermarked?
If it’s public and cheap enough, the watermark will be quickly reverse engineered. If it’s not public and cheap, is it very useful?
Anthropic says new Claude models will embed invisible watermarks in all generated text, everywhere Claude is offered.
