Images still cannot communicate GenAI permissions.
Existing approaches either lose the owner’s intent, act too late or require the content to remain unpublished.
Watermarks
Visible watermarks can be reproduced, removed or ignored.
Captions
Captions and terms do not reliably travel with the image.
Metadata
Metadata can be stripped during simple sharing and processing.
Moderation
Manual moderation is slow and often happens after misuse.
Avoid posting
Not publishing places the entire burden on the content owner.
