Am I missing something? The article seems to suggest it works via hidden text characters. Has OpenAI never heard of pasting text into a utf8 notepad before?

...but that output is also from the AI so it would still be watermarked lol

You could feed it through a different, smaller model that could even be self-hosted. It isn't difficult to make a model that rephrases an input in another style.
