    all of them are just admitting that they’re embarrassed about using AI instead of their own brains. of course, they don’t know that because claude never told them.

    This won’t work - you can always use a dumber, open model to rephrase and remove the watermark. All this does is marketing for anthropic, which I see most people are buying. Gives you a false impression you will easily be able to figure out if it’s done by AI, which it is not. Liars are still gonna lie, cheaters still gonna cheat.

      Sure, but they need the watermarking to later claim the copyright on the stuff that people do create in the open with their agents.

      “They would never do that!”

      “And even if they did, I would sue them, and then the justice system would…”

      “uh… uh oh”

        My tinfoil head tells me they don’t want to ingest their own slop for training. But this only helps them if others do the same. Data poisoning is a real problem for llm future.

      This is probably relative. A lot of people (smarter and not so smart) got hooked on it because of how accessible and convient it is to just ask AI any question and get it spit an answer in seconds. However, there does seem to be a catch - after some time you feel emptiness / void because of how hollow it is. You don’t seem to need to do a research anymore and critically evaluate the options.

    It should be watermarked. Credit for answers should go to what generated the answers. If it’s not you, well, now it’s not so easy to be a lying sack of shit.

      That’s the issue. It’s someone else’s fault, always. It requires a substantial amount of grey matter to accept personal responsibility, e.g. “I fucked up”. It was me, who made a mistake. When we make a mistake we downgrade to our lowest, most childish behavior, to deceive, lie and cheat, just so we are not in trouble.

      Some people never ever ever ask the question to themselves “Did my actions cause harm to another?”. Their self-importance is too great for that. The maximum I can ever hope for, with the current state of humanity is, they’ll think about it, but throw in a nice excuse. Usually “But I was stressed/busy/angry when I did it”. And that makes it okay.

      So, sadly, it requires a lot of grey matter to not use it. Mainly because of humankind’s inability to accept personal responsibility, not because a clanker contains some unobtainable information.
