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

Who cares if LLM-generated text can be detected algorithmically. More by the day I’ll land on a website and my human intelligence gets the feeling that it was made by an AI product. Sure, my feelings won’t be 100% accurate. But eventually the situation isn’t going to be “hey i think this might be machine made,” but rather, “wow, this is actual human writing, how refreshing!”

Oftentimes i dive into these BB posts without noting the author. And from time to time, I’m halfway through one and i think, “ha, this is a beschizza piece,” and i scroll up to check and I’m right every single time. Because humans can construct original things. Machines can’t do that.

Someday? Won’t say it’s impossible, but on the data-information-knowledge-wisdom hierarchy these text outputs are still on the data level. At best they can synthesize rudimentary information.
