Which, in fairness, there are plenty of. I have seen 2 presentations this week at work where they were 1. Obviously AI-generated and 2. Obviously not proofread or changed at all.

Nicely written piece and pretty clever technique.
Thats really interesting. Thanks! Is there a way to test this or command line tool? I suppose I could try and create my own tool, but im assuming there is a tool here im just not seeing.
I see a LOT of claims by people in this thread. It would be nice if they would give proof one way or another.
Test what? Anthropic hasn't made a detection method available yet, and I think none of the free models have the watermarking yet, as they're all older than Aug 2.
They're invisible, they survive copying, and they work because they don't live in the characters at all. They live in the choices between words.
So it is yet another way for AI to falsely hurt neurodivergent people over their writing styles and word choices.
Fuck AI.
Only if the neurospicy people happen to make all of the same choices, which seems extremely unlikely to me.
Certainly as someone quite neurospicy, I am not personally worried by this at all.
This is not a “watermark,” it is a minor shift of statistical probability. Whether content contains that “shift” will be “measured” using more AI-based tools that will flag sentence structures that hew toward faintly less common word selections.
We need AI companies to shut the fuck down. We do not need theatrics designed to deceive the populace into thinking this is not akshually a great filter moment while false positives and ponzy-scheme AI buildout harm those of us who want nothing to do with these tech-bro beatified lorem ipsum regurgitators.
Don’t fall for the theatrics. This is not at all what they are trying to bill it.
