I'm surprised it's so hard, but where it matters is for years, we've
been "destroying" images so that they can't be correlated by their
sensor defects, but if it's this difficult to destroy the
cryptography Google AI adds, that means it's not easy.
One thing the article didn?t mention, is trying to mix multiple
AI-generated images in various ways, to see what that does to their
respective SynthID markers. And applying various bandwidth-filtering
techniques (because the SynthID marker apparently takes the form of an
?audio waveform?).
