The study demonstrated how attackers can remove watermarks or add false positives to human-generated images, undermining the effectiveness of watermarks. While tech giants continue to develop watermarking technology, experts caution that watermarking alone is not a sufficient solution and should be combined with other technologies for better detection of AI-generated fakes.

An AI-generated content empire Is spreading fake celebrity images on Google

A website called Motion Picture Magazine is using AI-generated content and images to fill the web with fake celebrity photos.

The AI-generated images surface prominently in Google search results, misleading users looking for images of celebrities like John David Washington, Bill Skarsgård, and Pedro Pascal. The issue of AI-generated content displacing human-made sources and affecting search engine results is a growing concern. Google stated that using AI to generate content for search engine manipulation violates its spam policy. Loaded Media, the company behind Motion Picture Magazine, is run by actor and producer Donavon Warren.
