New tool strips watermarks from AI-generated images

A new open-source tool, `remove-ai-watermarks`, has been released to strip visible and invisible watermarks from AI-generated images. The tool targets watermarks and metadata embedded by major AI image generators including Google Gemini, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and Midjourney. It employs techniques like reverse alpha blending for visible logos and diffusion-based regeneration for imperceptible watermarks, alongside metadata stripping and an 'analog humanizer' to bypass AI detection.
