Stable Diffusion already includes one by default:

In particular it uses

Of course with open source software and models, you'd be free to create a fork that doesn't include one, or uses a different one.

Last I checked image watermarks were super weak against rotations, seems to still be the case - but the better methods could cope with cropping way better than these.

Obviously depends on the technique. The old-school popular technique of "slap a signature in the painting" like Dürer's stylized A/D logo is very robust to rotations, but not robust to cropping from the bottom in that case.

It's near impossible to have a watermark technology that's robust to all transformations, at least if you reveal what watermark algorithm you used.

One easy attack that works on most some techniques, would be to just re-encode the content, but writing your own watermark over the original using the same watermarking algorithm.

Yeah but its trivial to remove that when you run the source yourself.

Watermarks are a great way to ensure I use GPT-NeoX and allies instead of Da Vinci and allies.
