SynthID – A tool to watermark and identify content generated through AI

I wonder if, conversely, authentic media can be falsely watermarked as AI-generated.

For photos, I think the answer is yes. For texts, the wording will be changed when you watermark them, so I guess that’s a no.

When chatgpt launched there was a rush of "solutions" to catch llm generated text. The problem was not their terrible accuracy, but their even more terrible false positive rates. The classic example was pasting the declaration of independence, and getting 100% AI generated. What's even more sad is that some of those solutions are still used today, and for a while they were used against students, with chilling repercussions for them.
