I recently generated some flyers with chatGPT but didn't notice this. If they were included, they weren't very prominent enough to be noticed easily.

OpenAI actually uses C2PA metadata rather than SynthID. C2PA is easily removed just by stripping the image's EXIF data or taking a screenshot of the image. There are many tools available to remove EXIF data.
SynthID is Google's watermarking technology, which is embedded into the pixels themselves and is designed to be highly robust, making it very difficult to remove without ruining the image quality.

Normal edits or screenshots might affect the watermark, but they wont guarantee it’s gone. Better to check whether the image actually has SynthID before assuming every AI image contains it.

Take a screenshot and voila
That doesn't work; he wants to remove it and pass AI detection tests.

I am interested in watermarks on images, not in text.

Synth ID watermarks are invisible but present
