I'm sure commercial generative AI companies would be required to embed invisible/inaudible watermark in the generated contents soon, similar with how spotify and apple music watermarking songs in their streaming platform.

Dangerous approach.

Bad actors will not watermark their output, or remove the watermark. All watermarking does is lend credibility to misinformation. It's literally worse than nothing.

It won't stop bad actors, but it'll allow AI companies to cover their asses to avoid being blamed for misuse of their tech, which is one of the reason I think most AI companies will use it soon.

I'm sure you're right on that. I think it's already done.

Doesn’t look like Spotify or Apple watermark music, although that author used them as a hypothetical example.

Universal Music Group used to but moved away from the practice, it seems.
