> I made the counter argument that watermarks would find their ways into everything and eventually be bound to attestation.

Yup.

Elsewhere in another front page thread today: "oh but apps blocking screenshots because of 'sensitive content' can be bypassed by taking a photo of your screen with another phone".

Any tech-savvy person with two brain cells reading this and that: "gee, I wonder if the same magic imperceptible watermark that survives multiple rounds of cropping and printing and scanning, that's used to tag AI-generated content, could also be used to tag sensitive data, or ads, or which app is rendering it on screen, and then the camera app could refuse photographing it...".

I don't know why people don't see that AI watermarks are DRM, and DRM is universal, and there are many clients...



Not like that doesn't already exist, try scanning and printing a bank note (US, not sure if other countries have similar)


Yes, many, many countries use it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURion_constellation
