AI Watermarking Debate: Users Hypocritical, Anthropic Says No Quality Impact
SuB8u · x · 2026-08-15
User SuB8u comments that people believe their own AI usage is not 'slop' while others' is, and watermarking risks labeling everyone's AI usage as slop, which he finds contradictory. He cites Anthropic's FAQ: implementing watermarking to comply with EU AI Act, other major developers signed same code; no practical impact on quality; indistinguishable to readers; no hidden characters; no extra tokens or cost; watermarks not traceable to individuals.
