Hello everyone

TikTok is awash with people telling you how to remove ChatGPT watermarks. According to the videos, ChatGPT inserts invisible characters such as no-break spaces and zero-width spaces in random places. Some videos state that the watermarking only applies to certain engines. These videos often link to the character viewer soscisurvey.de/tools/view-chairs.php (now also available on GitHub).

Hello everyone

TikTok is awash with people telling you how to remove ChatGPT watermarks. According to the videos, ChatGPT inserts invisible characters such as no-break spaces and zero-width spaces in random places. Some videos state that the watermarking only applies to certain engines. These videos often link to the character viewer soscisurvey.de/tools/view-chairs.php (now also available on GitHub).

Have any of you seen these watermarks? Is this a real thing? ChatGPT itself claims that it does not use watermarking, but the answer that ChatGPT gave me refers to lexicon-based watermarking systems.

It feels like it would be unlikely since it would be relatively straight-forward to include a watermark remover to any AI tool.

ChatGPT says that if its output contains hidden characters, it is due to a quirk in your browser.

Its insipid bland fake neutral 'writing style' makes the whole of CheatGPT's output an unmistakable watermark / 'proof of origin'.
