Comment on AI Job interview warns against using AI yourself

a) simple text can’t be watermarked. b) You can remove them by using … another model! just run it through a local model - you dont even have to have an GPU for that task if speed isn’t important, and any half-recent GPU can deal with any watermark in seconds in images, while videos take a bit longer.

The application process shown is clearly text based. Its not asking for images audio or video. The image and video tools you linked are designed for physical watermarks, not cryptographic ones. Its the same word, but very different in practice.
The text watermarking is embedded into the output’s word choice. It requires large amounts of text of text to be detectable, but it is there in plain text. Word choice is shifted by a biased random number generator based on a secret key. Without the secret key held only by the company, its not possible to tell which part the watermark is.
Most things can be circumvented. There are local models that do not watermark. But most people are lazy, most people go the simple route of copying the output of a corporate AI product. People literally publish articles that end with, “is there anything more I can do to help.”

A research time of about 45 seconds has shown that the techniques regarding plain text can also be removed by automated means.

I’d say, if you are dumb enough to not clean up your shit, you do not deserve any better.
