Google Hid the Gemini Sparkle and Kept SynthID
The visible sparkle is a toggle. The invisible mark stays. They called that balance.

Please tell me Google hid the sparkle. You let people toggle off the Gemini watermark in the corner and kept SynthID in the file, then called it a balance between creative control and safety. That's the pose. The sparkle was the only mark a person could see. The safety is still invisible. Drop it with the sparkle.
