We also recently had this with LG spy-TVs. Cars here in the EU also spy on people, allegedly to show how alert they are. Perhaps they sneakily upload that information somewhere ... Facebook also has the spy-glasses now. People getting angry about Flock-spy-cameras.
It seems we are now in the age of spying of everyone at all times. Future spying will be done via even smaller devices.
The concern is valid, but microphones are far worse. They're simpler, smaller, extremely sensitive to sound and an order of magnitude cheaper, both the mic itself as well as any spying with it.
It is possible to record voice using few bytes, to send later. It's further possible to transcribe cheaply into text, and analyze said text.
And mics are already everywhere, including in devices that do not need them, as well as speakers that can be rewired by software to act as microphones.
Because they have this pathway only they can access, their key and signature can be trusted. I’m not gonna trust Joe Schmoe’s signature that “No I didn’t use AI” unless I already trust Joe Schmoe (and in which case, he doesn’t need a watermark, I’ll just believe him when he says it).
If it is text, copying text alone and not the file will it not remove it? Massage the text with Ai and vola spymark gone, don't you think?
No. The mark is hidden in the word choices.
See the demo in the article.
It's not "your work" it's the bloody AI's work! That's the whole point.
