Fun fact about AI products (or any gold rush economy) it doesn’t have to work. It just has to sell.

looks dubious
The problem here is that if this is unreliable – and I’m skeptical that Google can produce a system that will work across-the-board – then you have a synthesized image that now has Google attesting to be non-synthetic.

I guess this would be a good reason to include some exif data when images are hosted on websites, one of the only ways to tell an image is true from my little understanding.

Exif data can be faked.
SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I guess, but the original image would be somewhere to be scraped by google to compare and see an earlier version.

It seems like you’re assuming that file modified times are fixed…? Every piece of metadata like that can be altered. If you took a picture and posted it somewhere, I could take it and alter it to my liking, then add in some fake exif data as well as make it look like I modified the image before your actual original version.
You can’t use any of that metadata to prove anything.

No, the default should be removing everything but maybe the date because of privacy implications.

The device is no more anyone else’s business than anything else.
It should absolutely not be shared by default.

And the problem if it is reliable is that everyone becomes dependent on Google to literally define reality.
