    Spooky stuff. This will take surveillance to a whole new level. This is basically email read-receipt tracker, but for all of the digital content. They will know the whole trail - from originator to how it spread. Who read what and when. Big brother will always be watching.

      Would you rather not know if what you read is llm generated? I would rather like to know if a book was written by an llm, and em dashes (or similar) will only be apparent for some models for some time.

        Yes, and you can also just… create content without AI if you don’t want watermarks on it.

          Perfect, I’m glad we’re both for these watermarks.
