The metadata is kept separately from the original data, and is, by design, modifiable and removable. Watermark, by design, irreversibly modifies the original data, and is, by design, hard to remove without producing detectable artifacts

To say it's a bit biased is an understatement. The AI water usage is a real problem because AI datacenters are effectively unregulated. Yes, a car factory would be expected to use water, which is why we have environmental regulati

No problem, this is all human and understandable. You don't sound LLM-ish, you sound like you care a lot about this. Which both of us do.

Hey, I'm agreement with you. I meant that these limited extracts do need to be recorded, that's all. Read the rest of the comment :)
