How confident are you that the verification tool detects all of the watermark, and not just one layer?

I would layer two watermarks and let the public remove the most visible one.

What good does a totally imaginary AI watermark that'll never be revealed to the public even do?

You can reveal it later when you come up with a new mechanism and out all the fake images. Basically the first layer is first defence, second layer is cleanup when releasing a new mechanism. That way your generated images will always be identifiable eventually.

It might not be intended for the public.

It's to mark the images for exclusion during training.
