*The European Union demanded Anthropic watermark all of Claude's output
text so anybody could tell it was generated by an AI, so now everybody gets
it, not just those in Europe.  It works by subtly changing the probability
of certain word combinations, so it can be defeated by rewriting Claude's
output in your own words. According to Scott Aaronson, the man who invented
most of the watermarking process:  *

*"it's possible to remove the watermarks with a little extra work (even
stuff as simple as, e.g., translating between English and French, asking
the LLM for words interspersed with emojis and then removing the emojis, or
using an open model to paraphrase the output)."*
