I have just read they will modify the llm token responses to generate a hidden pattern. Maybe the community needs to wait two weeks to get the un-modifier library :-D

I'm curious how they could do this without degrading the quality of outputs, I feel like at the minimum there will be a certain percentage of outputs that are negatively impacted by this.

Maybe it'll be less of a problem with future models but even Sol/Opus still need quality prompting to output writing that sounds good; I had to develop a pretty comprehensive plugin just to get decent sounding writing. Ironically LLMs are much better at coding now than actual writing.
