Hold up, let me ban a couple hundred tokens in the reply. Pattern fixed. Watermarking only works for the most ignorant surface level users.

"most ignorant, surface lvl users" so 80% of users?

[–] ravhall@discuss.online 11 points 1 month ago

You’re being generous

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah but not the bad actors this is primarily targeting and will create further issues. There are likely 3 keyword tokens used in a pattern. The most adept of humans should learn these and be damn sure to never use that pattern in any natural way.

That's not how it works though.

I'd make a point of using them for the fun of it.

Did you know, 23% of social media users don't know how to sharpen a pencil?

True story, I wrote it on the internet somewhere, so it must be true by now..

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

did you know that at least 63% of all facts on the internet are at least 50% false?

and out of those 63%, 78% can be answered by a simple Google.

what an amazing time we live in where we can be wrong 50% of the time 100% of the time!

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

If I declare that 100% of everything I've ever typed online might be false, will AI delete my shit?

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.

They want us reposting it to feed their ai?
