OpenAI has built a text watermarking method to detect chatgpt written content (www.tomshardware.com)

Am I missing something? The article seems to suggest it works via hidden text characters. Has OpenAI never heard of pasting text into a utf8 notepad before?

No that isnt the case, you could train up a machine to detect if a passage of text was written by Hemmingway (for example) and likely get decent accuracy, that doesnt mean Hemmingway is substandard, just that he has a noticable style (like GPT's default style). Its likely bullshit for other reasons, but it doesnt imply what you say it does.
