This is a smart and ethical way to include AI into everyday use, though I hope the watermarks are not easily removed.
It will be relatively easy to strip that stuff off. It might help a little bit with internet searches or whatever, but anyone spreading deepfakes will probably not be stopped by that. Still better than nothing, I guess.
You can use things like steganography to embed data into the AI output.
Imagine a text has certain letters in certain places which can give you a probability rating that it's AI generated, or errant pixels of certain colors.
Printers already do something like this, printing imperceptible dots on pages.
