This new data poisoning tool lets artists fight back against generative AI

The tool, called Nightshade, messes up training data in ways that could cause serious damage to image-generating AI models.

Ah yes, yet another arms race between virtue and capitalism. This will go on forever. :/

@rl_dane the important thing is that you’ve found a way to feel superior to both.

@dlmanning

No, I'm definitely in favor of virtue, snarky lad. I'm just sad that it has to be an arms race.

@rl_dane what would you have virtue do then?

@dlmanning

That's always the frustrating part.
Not much to be done but to do what's right within your own circle of influence.
I think poisoning your own artwork against AI is a good stopgap, though.
