Just like https certificate authorities, the only way to fight all the AI slop will be “trusted” camera firmware that signs every image with a full chain of trust that the output was a real physical video taken will a real device at a real location.

OP is talking about watermarking real photos so help curate an authentic feed, not protect your media from theft. Cool pictures make the internet a better place
There are ways to poison images so they can’t be used for AI. And of course you can always add an overlay watermark in any basic graphic software that has layers and transparency settings.
They’re about as effective as ‘AI detectors’ and will last only as long as the current model generation hasn’t been counter trained on them.
It’s true they have to evolve constantly. Doesn’t mean it’s not worth trying. But yes, it has limitations.
