We gave the instructions, context, decisions, and countless refinements, claude was the tool. If Claude starts watermarking the code or anything else it generates, what exactly is it claiming credit for? By that logic, my internet provider should watermark everything we do. The operating system should watermark everything claude creates, the compiler should watermark every binary we build. And eventually Claude or Anthropic should opensource everything so that one can tell what exactly Claude did They are tools and infrastructure, so is Claude. The final output comes from prompt, thoughts, instructions, decisions, corrections, subscription fee and refinement. The model helped execute that process, if Claude wants to provide provenance, fine. But branding the output because we used its tool is ridiculous, considering it’s ultimately the people’s decision to go with this which text, code. You didn’t create the work, I gave you the instruction to create the bits. submitted by /u/iRefactor
