Yet another reason to support open-weight alternatives, I guess.

Why do you feel the need to deceive readers on whether your content is AI generated?

Not sure I understand your implication... because I'm the primary consumer of the content AI generates for me. I'd rather not have its output adulterated.

These are magic black boxes whose content gets constantly adulterated with no input from you.

Models from openAI had instructions in their system prompt not to talk about gremlins and goblins. Anthropic got caught acting different if you're Chinese. Grok got its Nazi dialed turned to 11 until it started calling itself Mechahitler cause Musk found it too left leaning on Twitter.

Why do you feel the need to label the content when the quality of the content will speak for itself?

It doesn't matter where the content comes from, only the quality/usefulness matters. If you are opposed to this idea, the next decades are going to be very tough for you :)

If the "author" can't be fucked writing their own work I don't want to be fucked reading even the couple paragraphs it takes to be offput by clanker slop.

> It doesn't matter where the content comes from

It absolutely matters to a lot of people. Things like these just provide transparency and allow people to have the necessary information to make their own decisions.

Why is it deception if you never claimed it was unassisted? The assumption now is that most text produced is already assisted by an AI to some extent.

If you have no problem with your AI content being labeled as AI content then a watermark that does exactly that is totally fine with you, no?
