What happened
OpenAI said it will automatically watermark ChatGPT-generated text in the EU. The feature is available elsewhere but is off by default. The EU change is intended to comply with the EU AI Act, which takes effect in August. OpenAI's in-house method, textGrain, embeds patterns in word choice that are difficult for people to notice and are designed not to noticeably affect output quality. Holders of a key can identify the patterns with a dedicated detector.
