#Watermarks

"Sora 2, Open AI’s new AI video generator, puts a visual watermark on every video it generates. But the little cartoon-eyed cloud logo meant to help people distinguish between reality and AI-generated bullshit is easy to remove and there are half a dozen websites that will help anyone do it in a few minutes.

A simple search for “sora watermark” on any social media site will return links to places where a user can upload a Sora 2 video and remove the watermark. 404 Media tested three of these websites, and they all seamlessly removed the watermark from the video in a matter of seconds.
Hany Farid, a UC Berkeley professor and an expert on digitally manipulated images, said he’s not shocked at how fast people were able to remove watermarks from Sora 2 videos. “It was predictable,” he said. “Sora isn’t the first AI model to add visible watermarks and this isn’t the first time that within hours of these models being released, someone released code or a service to remove these watermarks.”"

The newer #ChatGPT GPT-o3 and GPT-o4 mini models appear to be embedding special character #watermarks in generated text. However, removing these watermarks is relatively simple, making this seem more like a short-term measure than a long-term solution. #privacy #ai #llm rumidocs.com/newsroom/new-chat

🚨BREAKING: ChatGPT is now an artist! 🎨 It leaves invisible strokes, aka "watermarks," on its masterpieces! 🤦‍♂️ Too bad erasing them is child’s play—just like the importance of this groundbreaking discovery. 🙄✨

FStoppers: Google Adds Watermarks to AI Photos. “Google has introduced a digital watermarking system called SynthID to discreetly label images that are generated or heavily edited by artificial intelligence. The technology embeds an imperceptible identifier into the pixels of AI-created or AI-modified photos, which humans cannot see but software can detect.”
