[LINK] OpenAI just admitted it can't identify AI-generated text.

Wouldn't it be simpler to embed a metadata element that identified the 
source of an output from one of the generators? Including which one, 
when, for whom (trickier if local installation) and possibly a unique 
generation code for that item? I realise that wouldn't work for screen 
shots or copy/past text (at least I can't see how that could be 
stopped), but at least the original could be coded as such so if there 
were any challenges to authenticity, there could be tracking for it. Or 
maybe that won't scale.
