OpenAI could watermark the text ChatGPT generates, but hasn't

The only argument I can think of (and it’s a weak one) is that people are so uninformed about LLMs and think they’re magic to such a degree that when an official OpenAI system detected no AI signature they will think it means no AI was used (rather than it having been trivially circumvented). So it would catch the low effort cheaters but give extra credence to the others.
