I'm going to save my protests for anyone trying to watermark real images. Zero watermarks is a lot worse than semi-effective AI watermarks.

  Is it? Given local models this delays the current cutting edge at any given time by what, 6 to 12 months at best?

    Well the person I replied to seems to think it'll be at least semi-effective.

      How effective something is as an authoritarian tool (or whatever arbitrary purpose) can be (and very often is) completely unrelated to its effectiveness for some other unrelated purpose. It isn't clear to me why even highly effective AI image watermarks would be better than zero watermarks given what I pointed out about local models.
