GoKawiilOpenAI Introduces Invisible Text Watermarking for ChatGPT and Codex in EU
OpenAI has begun deploying an undetectable, machine-readable watermark called textGrain in ChatGPT and Codex, initially available only to users within the European Union. The company claims that textGrain's effectiveness matches or surpasses similar methods used by other AI developers, though it does not guarantee reliable detection or verify authorship. The move aligns with EU AI regulations, but has drawn some criticism from the community.
