You're doom-scrolling, hit a video of Zelenskyy surrendering. Fake? SynthID says it'll tell you. But I've seen this movie before – watermarks that vanish like morning fog.
⚡ Key Takeaways
- SynthID embeds invisible watermarks in Google's AI outputs across text, images, audio, video.
- Resilient to common edits, but not foolproof against determined tampering.
- Big win for Google control, questionable fix for widespread deepfakes.
