Some Claude users are mad that Anthropic’s new watermarks will catch them cheating at their jobs, classes

Anthropic's new watermarking system for its AI model Claude has sparked outrage among some users who claim it will prevent them from using the tool to cheat at work or school. These individuals have taken to social media to express their discontent, viewing the watermarking system as a hindrance to their ability to deceive others. The system is designed to identify and flag generated content, making it more difficult for users to pass off AI-generated work as their own. Critics of the system argue that it unfairly restricts their ability to use the tool for personal gain.
