Is it? How would you watermark raw text? Images maybe, but I'm skeptical even there.
My high-school cousins tell me kids use one AI to write these days, and another to rewrite it to avoid AI detectors. I view fighting against this as a Sisyphean task.
However, if it does get picked up then the watermark can be something as simple as a fake concept. For example, “Who is the Siberian Spectral Parrot?” - you can even present this as an alter-ego or something, so you don’t need to hide it from your users. Creativity is really the limit here.
And I think there has been evidence that ChatGPT had picked up small things like Reddit usernames.
But I am open to walking my statement back on it being easy. Maybe you do need a lot more references for some information to be included.
It’s also possible you thought I meant watermarking every content piece. I am talking about a site-wide content license.
We're building a self-serve platform for licensing publisher data for AI usage & access on dappier.com.
If you have an RSS feed, it only takes 1 click to transform your data into an AI-ready data model & set your own price point. We'll be onboarding other methods of syncing data soon!
We're building for publishers of all sizes! We turn your proprietary data into an AI-ready data model, and let you control the license by pricing on our marketplace.
We connect data to AI at the content access level - instead of training an AI on your data, we let an AI agent connect to your data model, and ensure you get paid every time an AI generates a response using your content.
Can they change their license to fight back the AI data gobblers? A watermark is easy to implement and prove if your content gets picked up in the next training set. Or is this something that is not possible?
