@Aygross well, yeah, there's definitely an irony there. Our point tough is to introduce this topic to a wider audience who might be less familiar with it.
Figured posting it on the Fediverse right away would be like preaching to the choir ¯\(ツ)/¯

Using tools like Nightshade and Glaze is simple enough and is definitely a clever way to protest against unethical image scraping. However, you often need another line of defense. What can you do?

Nightshade is a similar tool, which "poisons the AI” so it gets bad results of the piece it tries to recreate. Its goal is not to break models, but to increase the cost of training on unlicensed data, making licensing images properly a more viable alternative.

Glaze is a tool to disrupt art style mimicry. It understands how AI models work and computes minimal changes invisible to humans but drastically different to AI. The best thing is that it cannot be easily removed from the artwork with image manipulation.
