P.S. literally the comment you were initially responding to sources it.

You: “How much will this speed up our doom?”
Your waifu: “Calculating… oh, it’s actually less than 1%.”
tears in your eyes the Old Yeller soundtrack starts playing

Cornell researchers found that at the current rate of AI growth, the burgeoning industry could represent 24 to 44 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030
The United States emitted 4.9 billion tonnes of CO₂ in 2024.
So by 2030 the AI industry CO2 release might be 0.9% of total US emissions.
That ‘almost’ in “Almost Incomprehensible” is doing a lot of work there.

It’s not about the variation of the words, it’s about the variation of the words from the model baseline.
Like if your word choice was almost the exact same as Claude’s normally, maybe you just talked to them a lot and picked up their phrases like it’s not nothing.
But if you managed to be almost exactly like Claude and yet varied the possible words exactly according to a hidden entropy key, they’d know it was actually Claude with the SymthID-Text watermarking applied, as no human would end up falling into that statistical bucket.

This particular watermarking would be effectively impossible for a person to end up replicating.

If you’re concerned about data retention, you’d want to select an inference provider that is listing ‘ZDR’ (zero data retention) as a feature.
For example, a lot of the Chinese open weight models have become quite capable and because their weights are available end up like generic vs brand name medicine where there’s multiple providers serving them with different production conditions.
Because enterprise use will often be worried about data retention or sending data to China, the alternative providers usually offer things like US-only inference or zero data retention.
If you’re not going to use it all that often, a la carte API use is going to be way cheaper than a subscription, probably better results than a free plan with a closed model provider, and give you more control over the process.
A lot of it was also connected to misinterpreting some friends’ performance art as an official event like JD Vance did the other week.
Journalism in any way touching ‘AI’ is so bad that it’d probably end up better actually being written by AI. The human hallucination rates for the topic domain are going off the charts hunting for confirmation bias clicks.
