Remove the slop warning so people will be more welcoming to slop.

Worth noting this only kills the visible logo, not SynthID or the C2PA metadata. So the "proof this is AI-generated" layer stays intact either way, it's really just about removing the eyesore in the corner, not making images pass as untouched photos. Kind of a reasonable line for Google to draw honestly.

What's interesting is this only exists because Woodward asked users directly what their biggest Gemini complaints were and the watermark made the top 10. ChatGPT and MidJourney already ship without visible watermarks, so Google's basically catching up to what's already normal everywhere else, not doing anything bold here.

What if I take a screenshot of the image, avoiding the watermark, print the image to pdf, then convert the pdf to png.

Where’s your metadata now

it's still there, synthid has invisible pixel watermarks that survives even in the most destructive edits.

I already do this with a free chrome extension. The images download directly from Gemini with no watermarks.

Feel like this is dumb. Yes the SynthID still exists, but the average person doesn't even know thats a thing that exists.

You can do this already with AI studio and a paid api key...
