"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and wouldn't lose any voters, ok? It's, like, incredible." — Donald Trump

Are there other politicians? Do disgruntled employees have bosses? Ex partners?

A national news story in the US tonight, Lyft driver caught faking photos of his messy car. Not the most intelligent fraudster as he left the Gemini logo on the corner of the image.

Providing these four examples in good faith :) also generally I _dislike_ DRM

Against MILLLIONS of legitimate uses which you don't seem to care to protect?

You should also think about whether, suddenly, courts can now trust images they see because this technology exists?

I think thats not even basically plausible.

What are some of the millions of legitimate use cases that are harmed by having metadata added to generated images? It's funny you mention Photoshop because that software also adds metadata to jpeg images that it creates. Is the difference here that the SynthID is hidden and can't be removed?
