Google Is Now Watermarking Its AI-Generated Text

But the DeepMind technology isn't yet a practical solution for everyone

    Hold up, let me ban a couple hundred tokens in the reply. Pattern fixed. Watermarking only works for the most ignorant surface level users.

        Yeah but not the bad actors this is primarily targeting and will create further issues. There are likely 3 keyword tokens used in a pattern. The most adept of humans should learn these and be damn sure to never use that pattern in any natural way.

    Did you know, 23% of social media users don’t know how to sharpen a pencil?

    True story, I wrote it on the internet somewhere, so it must be true by now…

      did you know that at least 63% of all facts on the internet are at least 50% false?

      and out of those 63%, 78% can be answered by a simple Google.

      what an amazing time we live in where we can be wrong 50% of the time 100% of the time!

    Other than as a mind game, I don’t see the point.

    Google provides a centralized service. They own the generator system.

    You could solve the whole problem much more simply and reliably by just retaining a copy of all generated text at Google – the quantities of data will be miniscule compared to what Google regularly deals with – and then just indexing it and letting someone do a fuzzy search for a given passage of text to see whether it’s been generated. Hell, Google probably already retains a copy to data-mine what people are doing anyway, and they know how to do search. And then they could even tell you who generated the text and when.

      You/They cant claim copyright on LLM generated text. So its purely for analysis and statistics i would presume. But its odd because if you change the text too much the system will fail.
