Interesting article, and a worrying trend. Stamping a bit of text like 'Generated by Midjourney' is ridiculously weak protection though. I wonder if some kind of hidden visual data could be embedded within AI images - like a QR code that can be read by computers but is invisible to humans.

Just found the wikipedia page for steganography. Have any AI companies tried using this technique I wonder? 🤔

There is the Content Authentication Initiative which keeps track of the source of an image (it was taken by this camera, etc). It’s technically impossible to fake as it’s validated, registered and traceable, but who knows. It’s more a database of known images.

Yeah, the only real way to do it is have people digitally sign their images, but it still comes down to a trust element. You need to trust the person who created/signed the original content. It also means getting content from 3rd parties is going to be a lot harder in the scientific/historical communities of the world.

Have any AI companies tried using this technique I wonder?

Yes, I have read that they want to do something like that. Stamp all images that their AI has created.

But of course it won't be hard to remove the stamp, if you want to.

Can AI write car service manuals that are only slightly incorrect?

@aihorde@lemmy.dbzer0.com draw for me a fake historical photo.
