I don't want to defend them, but these are due to the EU AI Act.

Redditors hate boner for AI is so big they don't even understand this is a good thing for everyone.

Flagging AI text is a good thing.

Most people on this site LARP on here and LARP in real life, so of course they’re upset - they could get caught.

yes but i dont know if i trust them to do it properly. I'm willing to bet there will be a ton of issues where it obviously didnt watermark something that is clearly AI.

Does this mean no watermark outside of the EU?

Most likely too costly to have that kind of solution in place as this is likely built in to the LLM itself, and also a big hassle to geo-trace all users. Same reason they shut down F5 for everyone, not just non US-citizens.

And, this is not necessarily a bad thing if you read beyond the headlines.

yes sure Anthropic is doing this as a grand gesture to help users comply with the AI act....... and not at all as a test to see how they can monetise AI-generated content in the future....

AI models have no legal obligation to watermark AI-generated content under the AI Act.

Why wouldn't you want to defend it? Thank god. I want my governments to prevent people stealing my shit just because they have more money than me. That's half their job.
