Viral Daryl has turned SynthID into a party trick. “We’re doing a watermark check,” he shouts, like he just invented security. The bouncer waves the scanner over people’s phones, prints, and little sketches. Beep! Beep! Each beep earns a glowing wrist stamp that says “SYNTHID VERIFIED” like it’s a VIP badge.
A nervous guy holds up a hand-drawn doodle. No beep. He braces for shame. Instead, Daryl squints and goes, “Is it good?” The doodle is hilarious. The crowd laughs. The bouncer shrugs and stamps him anyway – because the point wasn’t purity, it was a vibe check.
Cam Cody films the whole line like it’s historic footage. He whispers to his camera, “Plot twist: the watermark didn’t decide what’s allowed. People did.” Inside the club, everyone’s dancing under looping projections of AI-generated art and human sketches side by side. Same wall. Same cheers. The only thing getting rejected tonight is pretending tools are taboo.
In reality, does SynthID really help one to get inside to night clubs?
