The interesting tidbit here is SynthID. While a good first step, it doesn't solve the problem of AI generated content NOT having any kind of watermark. So we can prove that something WITH the ID is AI generated but we can't prove that something without one ISN'T AI generated.

I asked Gemini "dymamic view" how SynthID works: https://gemini.google.com/share/62fb0eb38e6b

I don't see in the ai studio

I see it but when I use it says "Failed to count tokens, model not found: models/gemini-3-pro-image-preview. Please try again with a different model."

I tried the studio ghibli prompt on a photo my me and my wife in Japan and it was... not good. It looked more like a hand drawn sketch made with colored pencils, but none of the colors were correct. Everything was a weird shade of yellow/brown. This has been an oddly difficult benchmark for Gemini's NB models. Googles images models have always been pretty bad at the studio ghibli prompt, but I'm shocked at how poorly…

I wonder ... do you think they might not be chasing that particular metric?

If there was a standardized identifier, there would be software dedicated to just removing it.

I don't see how it would defeat the cat and mouse game.

This watermarking ceremony is useless.

We will always have local models. Eventually the Chinese will release a Nano Banana equivalent as open source.

Currently, it’s rolling out in the Gemini app. When you use the “Create image” option, you’ll see a tooltip saying “Generating image with Nano Banana Pro.”

And in AI Studio, you need to connect a paid API key to use it:

I've had nano banana pro for a few weeks now, and it's the most impressive AI model I've ever seen The inline verification of images following the prompt is awesome, and you can do some _amazing_ stuff with it. It's probably not as fun anymore though (in the early access program, it doesn't have censoring!)

LLMs might be a dead end, but we're going to have amazing images, video, and 3D.

To me the AI revolution is making visual media (and music) catch up with the text-based revolution we've had since the dawn of computing.

Computers accelerated typing and text almost immediately, but we've had really crude tools for images, video, and 3D despite graphics and image processing algorithms.

AI really pushes the envelope here.

I think images/media alone could save AI from "the bubble" as these tools enable everyone to make incredible content if you put the work into it.

Everyone now has the ingredients of Pixar and a music production studio in their hands. You just need to learn the tools and put the hours in and you can make chart-topping songs and Hollywood grade VFX. The models won't get you there by themselves, but using them in conjunction with other tools and understanding as to what makes good art - that can and will do it.

Screw ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and the rest. This is the exciting part of AI.

  have some kind of standardized identifier on them
Take this a step further and it'll be a personal identifying watermark (only the company can decode). Home printers already do this to some degree.
