Some Claude users are mad that Anthropic’s new watermarks will catch them using it at their jobs, classes
Is Anthropic's new watermarking system a travesty? Some have taken to social media to complain that it is.
Get smart on it
Anthropic has added invisible watermarks to outputs from its Claude chatbot to mark content as AI-generated, a policy implemented to comply with EU regulations requiring AI-generated content to be labeled. Some Claude users are upset about the watermarks, arguing they will be caught using the tool at work or school, though critics of this complaint note that responsible use of AI tools would not involve copying and pasting outputs verbatim. Other users support the watermarking system as a necessary way to detect AI-generated content and prevent deception, while some opponents argue the practice is hypocritical given how AI models trained on others' work.
