Show Notes
When Daniel discovered invisible digital watermarks embedded in his AI-generated content, he uncovered a rabbit hole that connects to Google DeepMind's SynthID and raises urgent questions about consent and privacy. Corn and Herman explore whether watermarking AI outputs is a necessary safeguard against deepfakes or an invasive tracking mechanism—and why most users have no idea it's happening. A conversation about transparency, informed consent, and where we draw the line on digital surveillance.
