GoKawiilOpenAI Implements Invisible Watermarks on ChatGPT and Codex Text in EU
OpenAI announced plans to embed invisible watermarks into text produced by ChatGPT and Codex within the European Union, using its new textGrain technology that subtly alters word choices to create detectable patterns. This feature will be available in the EU first, with API developers worldwide able to opt in, though it remains off by default. The company also opened applications for its watermark detection tool, which is initially limited to approved researchers. Tests show that editing generated text can significantly diminish watermark detectability, especially with minor modifications or shorter responses.
