I'm not sure that 'preventing ai-generated fraud' is really a 'weird checkmark'

  If watermarking of any kind were actually going to prevent ai-generated “fraud” (or even ai being used as part of a scam), it would have more support on HN. This kind of metadata injection increases surveillance without providing a meaningful deterrent.

    Furthermore, it almost surely limits the quality of the output. At least the finterprinting of the text tokens has to, how can you otherwise constrain token output?

      For example if you have 2 equally likely tokens to choose from you can pick the one specified by a key function instead of the one specified by an rng.

  I asked Claude to provide me with a text copy of a website and it said it couldn't because of copyright. I then gave it the html as a file upload and it gave it back to me. It's reasoning why? I already had the file so it must be mine. I told it a judge wouldn't care.

    A judge Wouldn't care because that is not illegal in any way shape or form.
