Protecting Creative Writing Copyright against AI Imitation via Implicit Watermarking
Quick summary
arXiv:2504.00035v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) enable powerful knowledge injection through approaches such as in-context learning and fine-tuning, but they also introduce new risks of unauthorized imitation of high-value creative works. Existing copyright protection techniques mainly focus on visual media, leaving the protection of creative writing largely unexplored. In this work, we investigate a new challenge: verifying whether AI-generated texts inherit the creative essence of protected works without authorization. We propose WIND (Watermarking via I
