Couldn't students just generate a paper with ChatGPT, open two windows wide by side and then type it out in a word document?

I think I'd at least use an OCR program to do the bulk of the typing for me...

but that's work.

Students view doing that as basically the same amount of work as writing the paper yourself

Depends on the watermark method used. Some people talk about watermarking by subtly adjusting the words used. Like if there's 5 synonyms and you pick the 1st synonym, next word you pick the 3rd synonym. To check the watermark you have to access to the model and probabilities to see if it matches that. The tricky part about this is that the model can change and so can the probabilities and other things I don't fully understand.
