Keep Your Promises, Especially To Yourself.
From the makers of Glaze, the team at Chicago University bring you....
Nightshade
https://www.technologyreview.com/20.....generative-ai/
An in testing AI 'well poison' that applies pixel level tweaks to art so that if it is used in an AI's trawling for its learning will apply to anything of similar meaning.
"Generative AI models are excellent at making connections between words, which helps the poison spread. Nightshade infects not only the word “dog” but all similar concepts, such as “puppy,” “husky,” and “wolf.” The poison attack also works on tangentially related images. For example, if the model scraped a poisoned image for the prompt “fantasy art,” the prompts “dragon” and “a castle in The Lord of the Rings” would similarly be manipulated into something else." -the article
Remain calm and art on, there are dozens of AI research teams working hard to create these things, and one team of students and professors at a university has already come up with two ways to screw them over.
The arms race is in favor of the artists and their academia allies.

Finally, something like this. Now if only we can get to working for text too, so people won't be able to write papers and stories with AI. That'd be great imho. A big win for the creative community
