I was right the first time on the TikTok watermark – it is possible to eliminate it from an uploaded video, although most have it (go to the TikTok site, click on “Following,” and browse the videos that come up to see the relative proportions). Its placement is also as described in my first post, appearing first on the left of the screen in the middle, then jumping to the bottom right-hand corner where it sits quivering for the duration of the video.
How to eliminate a watermark might soon extend beyond TikTok, as the possibility of adding one to works created by ChatGBT has apparently been proposed as a means of preventing their submission as term papers and the like – in the case of authors such as ourselves, ChatGBT could potentially reduce fiction writing to a commodity product producible by anyone. Should a watermark be implemented to identify ChatGBT as the source of the product, we can be sure applications to remove it would follow, thereby negating its effectiveness, and leaving the commodity product problem still a threat to authors.
