Is it true that ChatGPT text output carries a built-in watermark?
Partly. One source describes a proposal to embed a watermark in conversational model output to aid detection, while another reports that ChatGPT-generated abstracts were identified only via an external AI output detector, indicating no built-in watermark. Neither settles whether ChatGPT text output actually carries a built-in watermark.
