beware the watermarks

So if I keep screenshotting the memes like I always do to avoid the low res webp file download I'll be good right?

It was cute & fun to see at first but the novelty has already wore off especially when considering the deeper underlying issues. I tried to make one of you with hearts & stuff. But I couldn’t upload this photo without an account.💋🦁💋 image

Since when does the YT include automatic translation?! SOO annoying!
AI advises... To prevent synthetic media transparency methods (like automatic labelling or watermarking of AI-generated images) from triggering when sharing images, you’re essentially looking to remove or avoid the metadata or visual signals that indicate an image is AI-generated. Here’s a breakdown of how that works — and what you can (and can’t) do: 1. Understand What “Synthetic Media Transparency” Methods Are • Metadata-based: Some tools embed invisible data (EXIF, XMP, etc.) that says the image was AI-generated. • Watermark-based: Subtle visual patterns or digital watermarks (like those from OpenAI’s DALL·E or Google’s SynthID) may be embedded to tag images as synthetic. • Detection-based: AI classifiers look at image features (like pixel patterns) to guess if an image is synthetic, regardless of metadata or watermark. 2. Methods to Avoid or Remove These Transparency Tags Note: Always consider ethical and legal implications. Transparency is encouraged in most platforms and required in some use cases (e.g., journalism, political content). a. Re-encoding or Resaving • Open the image in a photo editor (like Photoshop, GIMP, or Preview on Mac). • Save or export it as a new file (e.g., PNG to JPG or vice versa). • This removes metadata and may partially disrupt embedded watermarks. b. Strip Metadata • Use tools like: • ExifTool (command line) • ImageOptim (Mac) • Metadata++ (Windows) • These remove embedded metadata without altering visual content. c. Slight Alterations • Cropping, rotating, or resizing the image. • Slight image modifications (blurring, adjusting contrast) may interfere with watermark detection — though newer watermarking methods are designed to resist this. d. Screenshots • Taking a screenshot of the AI image removes metadata and watermarks in most cases — though detection tools may still flag the image based on patterns. 3. What Doesn’t Work • Simply renaming the file or changing its extension — this does not remove embedded data. • Uploading and downloading from platforms like Discord or social media may retain metadata or add their own. 4. Important Reminder Many companies (e.g., OpenAI, Meta, Google) are working on robust and hard-to-remove watermarks. Removing them could violate platform terms of service or ethical guidelines, especially if used to deceive.

A OpenAI tá aproveitando esse viral pra acobertar que seu novo modelo é capaz de substituir nada mais nada menos que o Studio Ghibli. Por enquanto, o povo tá facilmente sendo manipulado, mas as questões éticas dessa novidade já estão aí. E agora??? OpenAI is taking advantage of this viral moment to cover up the fact that their new model could replace nothing less than Studio Ghibli. For now, people are easily being manipulated, but the ethical issues of this breakthrough are already here. What now #ia #ai #openai #ghibli #worldwide #nostr #gm #googmorning View quoted note →
