论文摘要
应在AI系统的自然语言输出中引入水印，以保持人类和机器生成的文本之间的区别。不模糊这种区别的道德势在必行是由大语言模型的态度性质以及人类对机器上的情感和认知状态的预测，可能导致操纵，散布虚假或情感困扰。执行此区别需要机器原点的毫无疑问但易于访问的标记。我们建议根据等距字母序列实现代码。尽管人工写的文本中没有这样的代码，但出于道德原因，它在机器生成的文本中的出现将很有帮助。
Watermarks should be introduced in the natural language outputs of AI systems in order to maintain the distinction between human and machine-generated text. The ethical imperative to not blur this distinction arises from the asemantic nature of large language models and from human projections of emotional and cognitive states on machines, possibly leading to manipulation, spreading falsehoods or emotional distress. Enforcing this distinction requires unintrusive, yet easily accessible marks of the machine origin. We propose to implement a code based on equidistant letter sequences. While no such code exists in human-written texts, its appearance in machine-generated ones would prove helpful for ethical reasons.
