OpenAI Tests Watermarking on AI-Generated Images for Free ChatGPT Users

The experimental feature aims to address authenticity concerns while potentially incentivizing upgrades to paid subscriptions.

OpenAI is testing a watermarking feature for images generated by free ChatGPT accounts, as identified in recent code discoveries.
The watermark is intended to distinguish AI-generated images from human-made content, addressing concerns about authenticity and misrepresentation.
The feature remains in the experimental phase and has not been officially announced by OpenAI, with its future implementation still uncertain.
The watermark may take the form of a visible overlay or an invisible digital marker, though specific details on its design are unclear.
Limiting the watermark to free users could serve as a strategy to encourage upgrades to paid ChatGPT subscriptions.
