OpenAI won’t watermark ChatGPT text because its users could get caught


But not doing it could make it look irresponsible.

OpenAI’s watermarking is described as adjusting how the model predicts the most likely words and phrases that will follow previous ones, creating a detectable pattern. In a survey the company commissioned, “people worldwide supported the idea of an AI detection tool by a margin of four to one,” the Journal writes. Some staffers had other concerns, such as that watermarking could be easily thwarted using tricks like bouncing the text back and forth between languages with Google translate or making ChatGPT add emoji and then deleting them afterward, according to the Journal.
