Google Photos will flag AI-manipulated images

These changes, reported by Forbes, sound like reasonable steps in the right direction:

Starting now, Google will be adding invisible watermarks to images that have been edited on a Pixel using Magic Editor’s Reimagine feature that lets users change any element in an image by issuing text prompts.

The new information will show up in the AI Info section that appears when swiping up on an image in Google Photos.

The feature should make it easier for users to distinguish real photos from AI-powered manipulations, which will be especially useful as Reimagined photos continue to become more realistic.
