AI-generated text

Google's SynthID Detector, a tool for identifying AI-generated content watermarked with SynthID, is drawing attention following its release. The detector scans text, images, audio and video for the invisible SynthID watermark Google embeds in outputs from its AI models, aiming to help people and organisations verify whether content was machine-generated amid growing concern over synthetic media.

A filing before a US federal court in Maryland argues that documents submitted in the case were 'clearly not the work of an organic mind', suggesting they were generated by artificial intelligence. The claim has drawn attention from readers discussing what it means for AI-generated text appearing in legal proceedings and who is responsible for verifying submissions filed with a court.
