How AI text watermarking works: a visual guide
declaude.org/watermarking/I thought declaude would be like degoogle.
Nope, turns out what they do is precisely the opposite. They try to remove those described markers. Real scummy.

I’m against trying to “censor” LLMs, but yeah. What’s even the ostensible benevolent scenario for stripping invisible watermarking from Claude?
I can’t think of one, playing devil’s advocate.
It’s pretty scummy, indeed.
AI traning on AI producing content is called poisoning and can be devastating even if a tiny part of the training set is poison. Stripping this mark makes AI companies unable to detect it as training poison, so it might make it posible for poisoning to occur on a larger scale, which is kind of inevitable as they’re scraping literally all they can & AI generated content is now inevitably part of the training pool
