A New Tool Lets Artists Add Invisible Changes To The Pixels In Their Art Before They Upload It Online

A new tool lets artists add invisible changes to the pixels in their art before they upload it online so that if it’s scraped into an AI training set, it can cause the resulting model to break in chaotic and unpredictable ways. 

The tool, called Nightshade, is intended as a way to fight back against AI companies that use artists’ work to train their models without the creator’s permission. Using it to “poison” this training data could damage future iterations of image-generating AI models, such as DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, by rendering some of their outputs useless—dogs become cats, cars become cows, and so forth. MIT Technology Review got an exclusive preview of the research, which has been submitted for peer review at computer security conference Usenix.   

AI companies such as OpenAI, Meta, Google, and Stability AI are facing a slew of lawsuits from artists who claim that their copyrighted material and personal information was scraped without consent or compensation. Ben Zhao, a professor at the University of Chicago, who led the team that created Nightshade, says the hope is that it will help tip the power balance back from AI companies towards artists, by creating a powerful deterrent against disrespecting artists’ copyright and intellectual property. Meta, Google, Stability AI, and OpenAI did not respond to MIT Technology Review’s request for comment on how they might respond. 

Zhao’s team also developed Glaze, a tool that allows artists to “mask” their own personal style to prevent it from being scraped by AI companies. It works in a similar way to Nightshade: by changing the pixels of images in subtle ways that are invisible to the human eye but manipulate machine-learning models to interpret the image as something different from what it actually shows.

Seriously though. I hate this "we must reject ii" ass ending sm.

y'know i think that the part that fucks up ii as a whole is to know that none of the characters even had a choice to be the way they are, and how mephone4 never found people who actually loved him, and how cobs ended up being right. like the whole point of ii wasn't the show or the contestants. ii was a show about love, connection, moving on and growing as people. the whole appeal of it was that every character had accountability for the way they are, and how they feel like genuine people too, and how invested you'd get on everything they went through. the whole appeal of it was how human the characters felt, how complex they are, how they learn and how they grow.

so learning that they didn't even have a chance to choose who they are or how they'd act feels extremely hollow and empty. it feels like the worst type of closure you can ever give to characters. it feels like it was never meant to be taken that seriously and that ruins it. so many arcs go around accountability and your own actions. nickel had a whole breakdown over the idea that balloon was only friends with him because of the luck, but are you really just telling me that oh. that was going to happen anyway. literally anything that made ii appealing was stripped away from it.

are you really telling me that Mephone4, the guy who just wanted closure and love, to find people who saw him as a human, ended up creating all of them? And they were all programmed to act on a certain way? They weren't even like, vessels that got their own souls on their own. Just. Straight up made them without knowing. That he never found people who actually loved him and allowed him to grow? That he just made them up? And you're treating him as a kid that didn't know any better? When he is an abuse victim that was the product of a war? Putting him through pain he didn't even want?

Giving the reason to the abuser? To Cobs?

It doesn't matter if we get an ACT 3 or whatever. Because, really. What's left to do there. Everything was pointless. A show that was about love and connections got assasinated from the thing that representated it the most. Sure they could get them back, give them a "happy ending". But so many characters were off in Act 2. So many things that go against pre-established ones happen. Mephone4 wrote how they'd act and everything. What's the point.
