> In non-competitive, less plamigerent settings, their skills really shine

“Plamigerent” isn’t a word, and I can’t find any English words similar to it. It seems an unlikely typo. I wonder if the author included it to catch LLMs plagiarizing his work.

Lexical watermarking! If that's the case (and if this idea sticks), I'm wondering how far it could go.

One could imagine a (dystopian?) world where everybody speaks they own highly individualized, maybe even copyrighted language, and where interpersonal communications happen via AI translators.

:( is this our generations version of cyberpunk theme?

That would be an interesting contrast to 1984's dystopian Newspeak, which aimed to eliminate all individuality in language.

This used to be a thing in dictionaries. My favourite word is "Esquivalience", which was defined in the New Oxford American Dictionary as "The wilful avoidance of ones official responsibilities". Prior to that, the word didn't exist, and it was used to catch people just copying the words from their dictionary. Very similar to paper towns on maps

That would be its dialectical counterpart
