Also, note the watermarking with SynthID, and the ability to detect Gemini-created sound/music

> "All tracks generated in the Gemini app are embedded with SynthID, our imperceptible watermark for identifying Google AI-generated content. We are also giving you more tools to help identify AI content, broadening our verification capabilities in the Gemini app to include audio, along with image and video. Simply upload a file and ask if it was generated using Google AI, and Gemini will check for SynthID and use its own reasoning to return a response."

It's good that this is becoming more standardized as a practice.

Yes, BUT... the obvious question is: Will other AI companies follow Google's lead here in creating/detecting watermarks?

And equally importantly, would they detect each others' AI-created works?

Honestly, I'd be surprised on both counts.

Trying to replace creative work is futile. How do you teach taste to something that can't feel?

The lack of excitement tells you no one wants this.

Unfortunately, I think it's likely to be quite successful. I'd much rather believe that everyone everywhere is a discerning consumer, but I don't think that's the case if we look at the fictional AI artists in the charts at the moment.
