The premise
Watermarks reduce casual misuse but fail under determined attack; AI can compare strategies but cannot guarantee survival.
What AI does well here
- Compare visible, invisible, and metadata-based provenance approaches.
- Draft an internal FAQ on what each layer does and does not promise.
What AI cannot do
- Guarantee a watermark survives screenshots, re-encoding, or adversarial editing.
- Replace human review for high-stakes provenance claims.
