  One point I haven’t seen mentioned in the recent AI text watermarking discourse is that watermarking output seems like it would be quite useful for detection and rejection during the model training process to avoid training models on data that can pretty reliably be determined to be AI generated, like random web pages and articles and such.

  Pet peeve: software/devices/interfaces that greet you. “Welcome, Collin!” “Good evening, Collin.” Wonderful, thanks — do your thing already! I don’t need to be welcomed, I need you to get to your raison d'être. Sometimes I feel like they put them up because some process is slow, and it’s an attempt to mask that.
