I mostly agree about the justification in the repo being wrong, but wanted to engage about this point:

> Image generators cannot insert watermarks into things they did not generate

It's actually very easy to take a real image, ask Gemini/ChatGPT to modify some tiny part of it (could be something as silly as lighting/shadow/etc), and often the resulting image will be detected by their watermarking tools. This way you can easily present any real image as AI-generated.
