Claude watermark controversy: exposure to AI does not mean the author is AI

A WritingWithAI post discusses Claude’s watermarking mechanism, arguing that a watermark can only prove a text has come into contact with AI, not directly prove that AI is the author. The poster stresses that AI-assisted editing and translation should be distinguished from AI ghostwriting, and questions whether Anthropic understands this difference.
