As I’ve said in response to a number of articles about this, all this means is that when someone wants to use Claude’s output for something, they just need to remember to manually type it in now, rather than just copy-paste it. Practically speaking, this changes nothing.
It’s some kind of statistical thing about what word is where, what character is there how often. Typing won’t help, but a rewrite will.
What I’m saying is that if someone just types verbatim what Claude says, instead of just going “Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V”, that completely undermines this whole thing.
I don’t think you will even need to type yourself. Tools removing the watermark will be available 3-4 days after this hits the market, fully able to be automated. Watermarks are not a solution that will prevent someone who wants to deceive you from doing so - only awareness that everything on the web is sus will.
Edit: The only alternative is an 100% digitally signature authenticated web, from the web login down to the posting. I am not sure this is a better way because it also means 100% transparency of everything someone does.
