Technical Analysis: Why Low-Entropy Outputs Cannot Carry AI Watermarks
random_walker · x · 2026-08-18
This post explains the limitations of AI watermarking: watermarks don't introduce new randomness but hide within existing variance in output distributions. If the output lacks variation (e.g., strict JSON schema), there is no entropy for the watermark to ride on.
