Shane Killian on X: "I'm sorry, but I really don't get how anyone can't immediately see that the watermarked version is quite definitively worse than the ordinary output! Who thinks that these are equivalent???"

    Watermarking without quality loss is a bit unintuitive, doesn't feel like it should work. I made this artifact with Claude to help me understand how it works, sharing in case it's helpful.

    It's bad and it logically can't be good. It always takes possibilities and resources. I don't know what Thariq was thinking to share this in a positive mindset. It is absurd.

    If you regenerate, you'll see most often both are the lame version, and it flips both ways similarly. The probabilities at each decision point to not change, just the random pattern of how those decisions are chosen together.
