Good luck cheating with Claude AI now…
Claude's next version will include a hidden watermark in generated text, making AI-written content detectable even after copy-pasting, due to EU regulations. The watermark embeds in word structure, though smaller or rewritten text may evade it, and the creator sees this as a positive step for transparency. The video invites viewer opinions on mandatory AI content watermarking.
