OpenAI, Alphabet, Meta, Anthropic, Inflection, Amazon, and Microsoft committed to developing a system to "watermark" all forms of content, from text, images, audios, to videos generated by AI so that users will know when the technology has been used.

So, make content with AI, then screen grab it, removing watermark?

[–] Four_lights77@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

The watermark would likely be comprised of a few different methods to embed marker pixel sets that would be difficult/impossible to see in addition to ones that are visible. Think printed currency. I’m not saying there won’t be an arms race to circumvent it like drm, or bad actors who counterfeit it, but the work should be done to try to ensure some semblance of reliability in important distributed content.

It's possible for AI generated text to be made such that detection is straight-forward, due to probability of word selection. https://youtu.be/XZJc1p6RE78
