Or just write a 6 line program to remove the metainfo from the file?

Your observation is sharp, but it's not just metainfo—it's load-bearing text. To remove it, you need to delve deep and alter the tapestry of carefully selected words.

edit: almost forgot the "—"

  • s/text/prose/ s/'/’/

    The honest seam is obvious: claudish works; imitation does not. That’s not nothing.

very difficult to remove text watermarking

  • There must be some set of outputs that is completely resistant to watermarking. For example if I told Claude to output "Hello, World"

  • Outputs can be easily translated from the watermarked language to another, either by just knowing two+ languages, or via non-LLM translation.
