What does AI watermarking of digital content mean?
The term watermarking in the digital age seems to be an oxymoron and antiquated itself! It sounds very cute, familiar too many and may convey reliability and peace of mind to some.
However, when it comes to e.g. text content is such watermarking feasible and robust? I have serious doubts. Apparently one simple technique seems to be to insert unusual/unexpected terms into a sequence of regular/usual terms.
With other media/content like photos, images or video this might be more feasible.

When will the cursor finally follow the eye on your computer display?
This is a long overdue innovation! How often does it happen e.g. that you look in one area of the computer display and start typing while the cursor is still somewhere else on the computer display?
If you stare for a moment at one point on the computer display, the cursor should perhaps follow so you can immediately e.g. continue writing.

When women become omitted or mere patients in recent science and medical news reporting
When gender ideology gets in the way of using the proper word woman or women in human female related subjects!
In particular, the so called American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has become very guilty of this practice in recent times.
Whenever possible AAAS avoids to mention woman or women by either omitting these words entirely in their news reporting or they use the term patient/patients even though it is improperly applied.
I wait patiently for a correction of this absurd practice motivated by ideology!
