> SynthID seems interesting but in classic Google fashion, I haven't a clue on how to use it and the only button that exists is join a waitlist. Apparently it's been out since 2023? Also, does SynthID work only within gemini ecosystem? If so, is this the beginning of a slew of these products with no one standard way

No, its not the beginning, multiple different watermarking standards, watermark checking systems, and, of course, published countermeasures of various effectiveness for most of them, have been around for a while.
