OpenAI will add invisible tags to ChatGPT texts

OpenAI announced the gradual introduction of invisible watermarking for texts created with ChatGPT and Codex. The changes will take effect within a few weeks.

The technology is called textgrain. It will start operating in the EU countries. The EU Artificial Intelligence Act requires that generated content be identifiable. Users of the OpenAI API, which is designed for developers and large companies, can already use the new feature voluntarily. The API technology is available to customers all over the world.

TextGrain will change the statistical probability of choosing words and tokens during text generation. Invisible watermark does not allow you to identify the user, his account, request or correspondence with ChatGPT.
