The discussion revolves around the perceived impact of AI watermarks on code and text.…
At first I didn't like the idea but ultimately what does it change? If like me you use AI to code then there is something in the code that says Claude made it. So what? Not hiding from that.
The same people who would have issues with it are the ones who show no care in design, one shot apps/websites, and link to websites that are so generic and slop-like that the watermark doesn't even need to be seen. If you're creative enough and take the time to design and use AI as an executer, the watermark doesn't change much more... I mean Claude already writes "Co-authored by Opus" when it commits to Git.
And for text... yeah AI writing is pure slop so the fact that you didn't take the time to write is not something you were ever going to hide. If it ads something when spell-checking I would agree it sucks but just reviewing the final draft allows you to remove whatever it added.
