the folks who made Glaze, which lets you protect your art from being reproduced by e.g. Stable Diffusion and other text-to-image programs, have made a new tool called Nightshade. Nightshade works similarly to Glaze - by making adjustments to images that are imperceptible to users but which modify an "ai art" program's ability to ingest them - but instead of simply preventing reproduction, Nightshade actually "poisons" training data, creating bad associations between words that make the tool less useful. The stated goal is to disincentivize mass image scraping, and to encourage the companies that make these tools to actually get permission for the images they train their models on.

Neat! Fuck 'em!

in reply to @Sol's post:

I am just so disappointed in how the AI boom has went. We could be using these techniques to improve a lot of models, diagnosis, workflows etc. but instead we are focusing on basically new and innovative ways to do art theft. Like a bunch of silicon valley dumbasses want to become idea guys and don't want to listen to actual artists criticize them.

Lots of people have said it: you’re supposed to automate away the drudgery so we have time to be creative, not the other way around. This shit, like advancement of STEM and destruction of the humanities, and indeed like all tech’s ambitions, are looking to obliterate every mode of human behavior that doesn’t involve paying them.
