<p>> human raters comparing watermarked and unwatermarked answers side-by-side saw no difference in quality<p>Yes - maybe saying "vibes" was minimizing the effort but what I am trying to say is that even the controlled testing is just asking users whether quality is impacted or not. Which is subjective and thats what I meant by when I said "vibes"<p>Don't get me wrong - I have no idea how one would go about testing this with other methods; I was just stating my assumption.<p>Since they rolled this out to all users I had assumed there would be other testing involved.</p>

<p>> Google DeepMind tested this impact by serving a model that used watermarking to a portion of their Gemini traffic and comparing thumbs-up and thumbs-down ratings. They found no statistically significant differences from the unwatermarked model. And in a controlled study, human raters comparing watermarked and unwatermarked answers side-by-side saw no difference in quality.<p>For some reason I had assumed testing this would be more sophisticated than just checking the thumbs up/down stats and user "vibes"</p>

<p>^This<p>Many of the mods for various subreddits also have commercial interest (own a business in the niche related to the subreddit) and ban/remove mentions of competitors but keep mentions of their own products.<p>^This strategy was shared with me by an aquintance who is the main mod of 1M+ subreddit. And again - this is also just scratching the surface.<p>Reddit has been dead for ages</p>
