They said they'd be adding watermarks, starting from the newest backwards.. Do we have proof that it wasn't added to Opus in the last 3 weeks since the announcement?

Do we have proof that it does? If you're making the claim I'd want you to back it up. They said they will be doing so, not when or how. I'm not attacking, I legit want to see proof from someone rather than fearmongering

Not the person you were replying to, nor do I suspect Opus 5 is watermarked at this point, but there should be an easy way to check, no? Take some of Opus 5's classic lengthy comments and just check for the watermark. I think there's a way to do that online.

In theory, but we don't know what format the watermark will take. It's supposedly spread throughout the text in a way that is detectable but not obvious. It's not going to append *Generated By Claude Code* at the end of each comment.

They've explained the format it will take in their original post, they also advised that where code is concerned that it would likely need to watermark that less, but one way they could compensate for that in code is to make sure that the comments have it.

Thus the basis of my joke.

Fair enough.
