Other than as a mind game, I don't see the point.

Google provides a centralized service. They own the generator system.

You could solve the whole problem much more simply and reliably by just retaining a copy of all generated text at Google -- the quantities of data will be miniscule compared to what Google regularly deals with -- and then just indexing it and letting someone do a fuzzy search for a given passage of text to see whether it's been generated. Hell, Google probably already retains a copy to data-mine what people are doing anyway, and they know how to do search. And then they could even tell you who generated the text and when.

You/They cant claim copyright on LLM generated text. So its purely for analysis and statistics i would presume. But its odd because if you change the text too much the system will fail.
