having one of those 'told ya so' moments when robots.txt was even suggested as 'the' method to block #AI

AI is nothing without others' work

theft & annihilation of the environment for short term financial gain is the only LLM that the tech industry understands

Since nobody answered all the questions I had I read up a bit on #GlazeProject and #Nightshade. So here’s a summary of what I would have liked people to explain / mention rather than just saying “use glaze to protect your art from AI’.

Both are developed by a group from the University of Chicago. They have published a paper about Glaze where they explain at depth how it was developed, and how they worked with artists to verify its efficiency:

Glaze - Publications and Media Coverage

glaze 2.0 makes me feel i may actually be able to anti-AI my online art…

unfortunately the number of files i can batch has gone down from 9 to 3…

but the processing speed has gone from 3 days to 30 minutes!!!

astounding progress at the #GlazeProject 💦💦🥴

i never get glazed when i wanna…

this was a low estimate on 9 images. 🤷🏽‍♂️

more terrible news from open #AI

just pull the plug already

#GlazeProject #NightShade

So far i'm very happy with what #nightshade and #glaze are doing for me, the artifacts aren't really noticeable unless i'm protecting an extremely flat artwork or running super intensive settings.

We will #TakeArtBack from AI.

Speaking of artwork, my next few artworks posted will be a good bit more explicit than my usual posting here, but the appropriate content warnings will be added.

My first step to #TakeArtBack , here's one of my recent works, now protected with Glaze and Nightshade.

The people behind the two projects are working to make a tool that contains both and do it in one go instead of individually, as well as reduce the amount of visible noise/artifacts that protecting the images creates

Artists! are you tired of Generative AI models training on your art despite Being clear that your stuff shouldn't be trained on? Poison your art. #TakeArtBack https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/index.html https://glaze.cs.uchicago.edu/ I've been following the development of a neat little tool called NightShade Which supposedly alters the image in imperceptible ways that impact how generative models learn from your art, effectively "poisoning" their training information. There is a second tool called glaze by the same developers that made nighshade. in short, Nighshade distorts what the AI learns about a certain pictures, and glaze provides protection from style mimicry, a quite awful practice i've already come across often where some insensitive individual trains an AI on a specific artist. Using both of these tools we can push back against companies and individuals that scrape our art without our consent. #protectyourart #art #artist #ArtMatters #noai #noAIart #nightshade #glazeproject #glaze #stopaiart

comparison of "ice crystals formed inside cracked window" #Glaze edition!

my anti-AI test results of Glaze w/ org. img, default then medium settings. [+gif loop to contrast]

at medium, artifacts become negligibly? visible in the ice, w/ some discoloration picked up from the background

not for the impatient, or low cpu rn, but >kudos< #GlazeProject

+no metadata change!

So… #AdobeStock #artist ? Poison that #Firefly #AI

#AITheft #CapitalismKills #ArtificialIntelligence #Photography #art 🖼

Messing around with #Glaze. It works quite well (it’s much quicker on the GPU version, my CPU is too old to be efficient). A bit too visible on simple shaded works, should be better on paintings, and should be improved over time.
Looks like a promising tool to protect
#artists against scrapping for AI.
