Why stop with videos, audios, and images? One can then have an app that can detect the water mark.

There must be methods to also "water mark" text generated by AI like ChatGPT-4.

The "water mark" will not be like what one can do with the above media. In these cases it is easy to hide hidden bit patterns in the data. With text it might be a few randomly placed text patterns that fit perfectly in the context of the text document but have a very low probability of occurring in human generated text documents.
