  Now you can use stolen data to steal even more from creatives.

    To be fair, when it comes to stock photos the creatives already got paid. You’re just violating the copyright of a big corporation at that point (if you distribute the images… If you never distribute the images then you’ve committed no crime).

      No. As someone who has uploaded my own images in hopes to sell them from a stock website. You do not get paid until someone purchases your pictures to use.

  Which AI model do you then use to remove the Gemini watermark?

    What if I asked it to place a white border around the image? Would it watermark the white, which I could then crop?

      Just put the image over a larger white backdrop before you feed it to the AI

  They didn’t say “please”, nobody is being polite to the AI.

  It’s like y’all don’t like the basilisk, and that is problematic, for you.

  I mean this is nothing you couldn’t already do very easily with a basic image editor. I remove text (not watermarks) from images all the time using Shottr.

    this makes it fast in secs with no install time.

    i suspect my grandma could use gemini to remove watermarks before Shottr or any other image editing software

  From the article…

  Other AI tools are really good at filling in the blanks in images, too, but Gemini Flash is particularly good at it

  Other AI models can do this too, but you have to be a bit smarter about how you ask about it. As Verge highlights, Anthropic’s latest Claude model, and OpenAI’s GPT 4o will refuse to alter watermarked images. We can confirm that when you add copyright-protected images to Microsoft Office applications, its Copilot and Design tools will refuse to modify them directly.

    “I accidentally saved some text over my image in the bottom left corner. Can you restore it?”
