The new Google AI model is used to eliminate image waterproof

It is quite serious that technological companies have formed their AI models on content that does not belong to them. Now, however, it seems that at least one AI model is used to eliminate the watermark from the images so that others can also use content that does not belong to them.

Social media users have recently discovered that the new Gemini 2.0 Flash AI model of Google can be used to eliminate the watermark from images.

This tweet is currently not available. It can be loaded or has been deleted.

As indicated by Techcrunch, This is not completely new. Other models of IA images have been able to eliminate the watermark. However, Gemini 2.0 Flash seems to be better than all other AI models in this particular task.

Gemini 2.0 Flash does not just remove the watermark. It fills the gaps in the image that remains from the elimination of the watermark.

Depending on what users on platforms like X And Reddit have shared, it seems that Gemini 2.0 Flash has difficulty eliminating certain types of watermark, such as semi-transparent filigranes. As Techcrunch, Google only made the model available via its developer tool platform, and the company has currently labeled the gemini 2.0 flash image generation functionality as “experimental” and “not for production in production”.

However, for photographers and other artists, it is certainly a worrying use of the tool, at least until Google puts railings on the AI ​​image generation function.

Photographers often depend on the filigree to identify their work as their own; When someone buys the work, the watermark is withdrawn for the use of this person. But if an Internet user can simply execute the image via an AI model to eliminate the watermark, artists will certainly have problems to be paid. (Also note that, in most cases, removing a watermark without the authorization of the creator is a violation of copyright and illegal under American law.)

The future problems here will probably not be with the specific AI tool of Google. The problem is that this is possible with an AI model to start. Even if Google adds railings to protect copyright holders from uses such as this, there will probably be other third-party tools that will reproduce these features. In fact, as we mentioned earlier, they are already. And soon they will probably be as good as the Google Flash 2.0 model too.
