"My friend John Gruber is incensed by the idea that AI watermarking schemes adjust the output of a given LLM so that the output can later be assessed as likely coming from it in particular:"

"They say “imperceptible” and “doesn’t change the meaning, quality, or readability”. Their words. Not almost imperceptible. Not slightly changes the meaning, quality, or readability. That made sense to me, because that’s absolutely what I want — nay, demand — from any tools I use personally."

"I can understand why Gruber, a nearly-lifetime professional writer, would balk at the idea that the words in a given stretch of prose might be altered to satisfy such an unpoetic goal as watermarking. But to be offended by “the perversion of writing” you need actual writing to pervert. Even if you grant that whatever pops out of an LLM is “writing”, a watermarking process would have to take place after the writing was complete for any treachery to occur."

"I don’t claim to be an expert about AI or the watermarking schemes that are being used by Anthropic and Google (SynthID), but as I understand it these techniques work by biasing the internal selection of tokens within the LLM, so that the output of the model is attributable to it. The “writing” in this case is the result of a proprietary, model-based selection of tokens generated from the prompt."
