I almost never copy & paste AI-generated text, I almost always transcribe it by hand, which in turn forces me to read what the LLM generated and gives me the opportunity to replace words as I go. This obviously doesn’t scale, especially if your impact is measured by the number of software features you implement, but for more experienced engineers (Staff, Principal, and above) who are usually evaluated on the success of company-wide initiatives, I think this is the best course of action.

And certainly never copy/paste an assignment

One thing you can try is to write it by hand without an LLM! That way there will be no watermark.
