Sounds like laws should have been created before release.

Ahh, great news, fellow artists and photographers. We don't need to waste time watermarking our work anymore
So glad we’re destroying the environment and GPU market for this.
FWIW, Gemini doesn’t use nvidia chips I think, it’s their own thing— so just destroying the environment
I mean it’s destroying some hardware using rare earth metals. Nvidia or not lol
I do that all the time for memes (watermarks or previous captions). It is literally the only useful thing I have found for the AI image editor in my phone.
It's good for removing offensive nipples too.
I did it for some memes, not like I'm making money out of it.
An influencer doesn’t always get direct pay for funny memes on their social media account but it contributes to their presence/status which is what enables monetization.
What you’re doing isn’t as clear cut as you assume.
Depends on the watermark that is being removed. So many memes out there have random watermarks on them of some crappy facebook account or random website that has nothing to do with the content, they just slap their logo on everything they share.
Very fair point. Random ass social media accounts watermarking shit they didn’t even make. Reddit is terrible about that by default.
I agree with your core point, if the watermark is a maker's mark, then it would be wrong to remove it.
