Interesting idea.
Scientists describe a way to denote a protein’s #AI origin by subtly altering the probability of amino acids chosen for its sequence.

The resulting pattern acts as a statistically detectable stamp, or watermark, while preserving the protein’s structure and function. https://scim.ag/4hBFWRs
Method to ‘watermark’ AI-designed proteins could deter bioweapons, protect scientific credit
Google DeepMind team inserts identifiable pattern into protein’s sequence without compromising its structure or function

Saw the world premiere of Jonathan Glazer's Joy of Joys at NYFF tonight and enjoyed it quite a lot! It's a good thing I'd listened to a lot of the new War Child album beforehand because it's very coy about actually including the music, (and it's also quite loud at times).
