I was reading my email this morning when I came across a piece by Taylor Arndt. The title caught my attention: “AI Finally Gave Some of Us a Level Playing Field. I Don’t Want Watermarking to Take That Away.”

I read it. Then I read it again.

Taylor laid out the policy. The EU AI Act. Anthropic’s worldwide text watermarking. Google’s SynthID. The question of what happens when AI is used for OCR, for dictation, for helping someone with a cognitive disability communicate their own thoughts more clearly.
