      <description><![CDATA[Anthropic, the maker of the Claude AI, is adding invisible markers to its text. These tags help computer systems identify machine-generated content to comply with new regulations. While some users worry this makes it harder to use AI for work or school without being spotted, others see it as a necessary step for transparency. We explain how these markers work by subtly nudging the AI's choice of words.]]></description>
