When I saw the article I was initially skeptical. I do look down on OpenAI, Google, and other such companies.
But on second thought it is not a bad idea to be able to have a quick tool to identify an image as AI generated.
And after reading your reaction to it, I am sure now that the watermark is for the best.
So you are in the"nothing to hide, nothing to fear" school of privacy rights?
Only criminals and bad actors want private defaults?
The burden of proof is proving there is some harm or problem that needs solving and noone has managed that in this thread or generally.
