LLM output watermarking methods are computationally intensive and clever

The process of watermarking large language model (LLM) output is complex and requires significant computational resources per token. While the necessity of watermarking is debatable, the methods employed, such as Google's SynthID, are noted for their cleverness and iterative development. AI

IMPACT The development of effective and efficient LLM watermarking techniques is crucial for content authenticity and attribution.

    I am not fussed either way that LLM output is watermarked, but I was curious how they were doing it. It seems like it's going to take a lot more compute per tok
