Anthropic just rolled out a tool that could decimate some people's dreams of writing AI novels undetected - Business Insider

What's the point if you can undo it?

Here's a post about Anthropic Panzer found on the Business Insider site.

 

Anthropic announced that effective August 2 Claude will be adding a watermark to all the material it generates.

Panzer says, "So, no more here's my great steamy New York zebra-riding vampire cowboy in love with a dolphin-riding mermaid romance. No. Wait. Read almost all the way to the end and you'll find a way to fix that watermark."

Note: This is a very long post because there are a lot of ads to ignore. Bring a glass of iced tea today.

My treats come before everything else.

According to the post the Queensland Writers Centre (QWC) has increased the entry fees for the Aurealis Awards. A letter protesting the increases and wanting AI material banned. It's was signed by over 200 writers and editors and sent to QWC. The Aurealis Awards are given for the best Australian speculative fiction.

A Panzerism

 Panzer on the human misconception of their own importance:

 

Mon told me that if parents compliment children it boosts their confidence.

She said that's a good thing.

 

But ...

 

She needs to learn you don't ever compliment a cat.

N o-o-o-o ... a real bad idea.

 

Good kitty. You're kidding right?

Cats will always take such sentiments and turn them into moments of disbelief

and ... then hilarity.

 

How dare a mere human ... an inferior species to cats ... pass judgement on us ...

with statements like "Good Kitty" and "What a smart boy."
