Data poisoning: how artists are sabotaging AI to take revenge on image generators - Lemmy.World

Data poisoning: how artists are sabotaging AI to take revenge on image generators::As AI developers indiscriminately suck up online content to train their models, artists are seeking ways to fight back.

Man, whenever I start getting tired by the amount of Tankies on Lemmy, the linux users and decent AI takes in users rejuvenates me. The rest of the internet has jumped full throttle on the AI hate train
The “AI hate train” is people who dislike being replaced by machines, forcing us further into the capitalist machine rather than enabling anyone to have a better life

Not saying that there aren’t people like that, but this ain’t it. This tool specifically targets open source. The intention is to ruin things that aren’t owned and controlled by someone. A big part of AI hate is hyper-capitalist like that, though they know better than saying it openly.

People hoping for a payout get more done than people just being worried or frustrated. So it’s hardly a surprise that they get most of the attention.
