Beyond Heuristic Tuning: Power-Calibrated LLM Watermarking

arXiv:2607. 05694v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Logit-based watermarking is a widely used mechanism for identifying LLM generated content, yet its effectiveness is governed by a fundamental trade-off between detectability and semantic distortion.

The Watermark Shortcut: How Provenance Marking Sabotages Audio Deepfake Detection

Provenance watermarking is increasingly treated as a safeguard for synthetic speech, whether built directly into speech-generation models such as Chatterbox, provided through dedicated techniques such as AudioSeal, or deployed by commercial platforms such as ElevenLabs. We identify a previously uncharacterized liability: when synthetic speech is watermarked and human speech is not, detectors trained alongside latch onto the watermark as a spurious "watermark => fake" shortcut.
