My assumption is that this will be used to watermark images coming out of cloud-based generative AI.

And they'll say it's to combat disinformation, but it'll actually be to help themselves filter AI generated content out of new AI training datasets so their models don't get Habsburg'd.
> their models don't get Habsburg'd.

You mean develop a magnificent jawline, or continue to influence Austrian politics?

I was reading an article lately about how a lot of that was really just immensely dumb luck on their inbreeding part - that is, they ended up picking just exactly the worst sort
How do they still influence Austrian politics? Do you have any links or sources? I'm genuinely curious!
I wondered why they'd be doing this NOW and this makes perfect sense!!
>so their models don't get Habsburg'd.

Nice metaphor

Why? Those are not copyrightable.
Because downstream consumers of the media might want to know if an image has been created or manipulated by AI tools.
hardware self-evident modules to essentially sign/color all digital files

now we need more noise

This still leaves out non cooperating image generators, and the real bad guys (organised disinformation grups) will use them.
They would not want to train their next model on the output of the previous one...
Who says?
