Watermarks have always been a joke, but it is kind of crazy how quickly all of the rules went out the window when LLMs came along. If you'd told someone five years ago that people would just give "AI" root access to their systems and let it run unsupervised except for a list of rules that it sometimes just didn't follow - yeah there's just a nonzero chance that any device with access to your credit card will just buy a thousand eggs. No one knows why, it just happens sometimes even if you beg it not to - you'd be committed.
I remember seeing watermarks in Stable Diffusion ages ago. We're just going to have to come to terms with the reality that AI generated anything will be indistinguishable from human generated anything soon. Counting fingers already doesn't work, most of the "tells" people think work with text are little better than reading tea-leaves. Watermarking anything is futile.
