As per the link, the words in the green and red groups are calculated dynamically, so it's not like the model is going to be told "use 'unique' over 'unusual'" and suddenly writing from the model will contain the word 'unique' far more often than 'unusual'. So I'm not sure it's clear that this has an impact on creativity as such?

That being said, I do question how this will apply to code as opposed to prose. Even data dense text (ie, if you ask Claude to evaluate what running shoe to buy, and it spits back a list of options with reviews and prices) may struggle.

What it probably will work well at it flagging the current tsunami of entirely AI generated novels on Amazon/Kindle, which is...honestly not without value.

True, but note that this strictly allows providers to identify text generated by their own models. If Anthropic wants to filter out GPT generated text in their training data, they'll need to feed it through an OpenAI API, which is implausible. So it might help on the margins, but I don't think it solves the problem of model collapse.
