Watermarking text will not affect the speed or price of using the AI models [File]

Days after Anthropic announced that text content generated with its Claude AI would include an invisible watermark, the company has released more information about how the marking technology works.
Anthropic refuted users’ theories that machine-readable characters might be inserted into the AI-generated text, confirming that nothing would be added to the text and there were no hidden characters.
Instead, the watermarking system relies on the AI leaving a pattern in Claude’s responses, which is detectable to any party that has a key that encodes it.
Anthropic noted that Claude’s text watermark was a version of the SynthID-Text approach published by Google DeepMind in a Nature paper two years ago. The company repeatedly stressed that the AI watermarking process would not impact the quality of Claude’s content, level of creativity, or text readability.
