I disagree completely. Read the manga from where the first season ended. They skipped over multiple arcs (one of them being a fan favorite) at first and then completely derailed the story for the second half of season 2.

I don’t think that:

The tool embeds a digital “watermark” directly into the image that can’t be seen by the human eye but can be picked up by a computer that’s been trained to read it.

Is gonna be helpful for keeping AI generated images out of training sets. It would require the people who make the model to actually implement that tool into their model.

I don’t think most researchers not affiliated with google will chose to do that.
