Watermarking needs to be subtle enough to be unnoticeable to opposing parties, yet distinctive enough to be detectable.
So, this is an arms race especially because detecting it and altering it based on the watermark is also fun :)

This seems like a total non-starter. That can only negatively impact the answers. A solution needs to be totally decoupled from answer quality.
Their improved method instead only replaces tokens when there's many good choices available, and skips replacing tokens when there are few good choices. "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" - "The quick brown" is not replaceable because it would severely harm the quality.
Essentially it's only replacing tokens where it won't harm the performance.
It's worth noting that any watermarking will likely harm the quality to some degree - but it can be minimized to the point of being viable.
