Is it possible that some of the reason pixels are messed up is because of the watermarking? https://deepmind.google/models/synthid/

Or is it purely because the models just don't understand pixel art?

I wonder if this would be a simple (limited) example of defeating the watermarking? Surely there's no way SynthID is persisting in what is now a handful of pixels.

They also don't understand spritesheets.
