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

Could anybody explain how this isn't easily circumvented by using a competitor's model?

Also, if everything in the future has some touch of AI inside, for example cameras using AI to slightly improve the perceived picture quality, then "made with AI" won't be a categorization that anybody lifts an eyebrow about.

I wonder if this will survive distillation. I vaguely recall that most open models answer “ I am chat gpt” when asked who they are, as they’re heavily trained on openai outputs. If the version of chatgpt used to generate the training data had a watermark, a sufficiently powerful function approximator would just learn the watermark.
