Using AI to crank out everything imaginable, from your homework to emails to code, is great and all — until you have to own up to it.
Fearless embracers of AI are suddenly clutching at their pearls, after Anthropic announced that its Claude chatbot will watermark the text it generates, potentially exposing anyone who wants to get away with using the tech without detection.
The announcement has caused a meltdown in AI circles.
“This watermark is the dumbest f*cking thing I’ve ever heard in my life. Are they going to ask you to provide an ID so you can write non-watermarked text?” seethed one user on r/ClaudeAI.
