It lasted one day: a developer has already released a 'watermark-remover' for all AI-generated text
Following Anthropic's confirmation that all text generated by its new Claude models will carry an invisible watermark in order to identify that the text has been generated by AI. claude.com/en/articles/16266773-how-claude-marks-ai-generated-content Today, developer Guillaume Meyer published "watermarks-remover" on GitHub: an open-source project…
A developer, Guillaume Meyer, has released an open-source project called "watermarks-remover" on GitHub, which claims to remove invisible watermarks from AI-generated text. The watermark is a feature implemented by Anthropic's Claude models to identify text generated by AI.
The watermarking is done by biasing the selection of tokens during text generation, creating a statistical pattern that can be detected. According to Anthropic, the watermark should remain even if the text is copied and lightly edited.
The release of the watermark remover comes after Anthropic confirmed that its new Claude models will carry an invisible watermark. The European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act requires AI service providers to implement identifiability measures by August 2, 2026.
