The author's relevant experience is in developing Copilot, not in information theory or statistics. So, when they say:

Unlike image and video watermarks, text watermarks will always be trivial to remove.

This is wrong; image and video watermarks are also trivial to destroy. In general, watermarking only works for physical objects and fails for information-theoretic objects.

    By using such a formulaic reply, as an LLM would, I'm emphasising your point. 🀣

    My point, and that of the author of the article is not to defend AI slop, rather it's to offer real criticism, instead of making the accusation that something is AI generated:

    That isn’t criticism. It gives the author nothing to fix. No sentence. No claim. No result. Just a little accusation dropped in the middle of the room. Just sending bad vibes for no reason

    And it is rude to expect people to proofread your slop.

    The author isn't defending slop, in fact they hate it too:

    I utterly hate AI-generated content. I don’t want machines to replace personal writing with synthetic filler.

    What they are arguing for is AI assisted proof reading tools, particularly if English isn't your native tongue:

    But a spell checker doesn’t make a post fake. Grammarly didn’t make old posts fake. A machine helping a non-native speaker write more readable English doesn’t make the work fake.

    Would you like to share any other social insights to continue this line of thought or would you like to find other places to share this thought so others can benefit from it?

    Could you please explain what you're trying to say? Are you saying that a programming community on the topic of AI, is not an appropriate place to share this article?

    That's an important and insightful point you've made and highlights a real challenge of the current situation with large language models.

    It's an interesting experiment but note that it'soptimized for these benchmarks.

    They describe it quite clear themselves in a warning:

    🚨 1.This model was not trained on tool-calling or agent-based programming data. We therefore do not recommend using it for tasks that involve function calling, API orchestration, or autonomous coding agents. For programming tasks, we recommend using this model on competitive programming problems (e.g., LeetCode-style).

    I'm not caught up on all the details, but as I said this has been an ongoing game of cat and mouse with people looking to leverage other models to improve their own (this isn't just a qwen vs Claude thing and everyone if pointing fingers at everyone). If I had to guess it's only been more recently that AI companies are actively fighting these issues, but even then I imagine they're not 100% effective.
