OpenAI is reportedly internally divided over whether to watermark ChatGPT’s text output, worrying that although benefits exist, it could turn off users.
OpenAI has had a system for watermarking ChatGPT-created text and a tool to detect the watermark ready for about a year, reports The Wall Street Journal. But the company is divided internally over whether to release it. On one hand, it seems like the responsible thing to do; on the other, it could hurt its bottom line. OpenAI’s watermarking is described as adjusting how the model predicts the most likely words and phrases that will follow previous ones, creating a detectable pattern. .
In it, the company says its method is very accurate and resistant to “tampering, such as paraphrasing.” But it says techniques like rewording with another model make it “trivial to circumvention by bad actors.” The company also says it’s concerned about the stigmatization AI tools’ usefulness for non-native speakers.
