The tool, called Nightshade, messes up training data in ways that could cause serious damage to image-generating AI models. Is intended as a way to fight back against AI companies that use artists’ work to train their models without the creator’s permission.

The researchers tested the attack on Stable Diffusion’s latest models and on an AI model they trained themselves from scratch. When they fed Stable Diffusion just 50 poisoned images of dogs and then prompted it to create images of dogs itself, the output started looking weird—creatures with too many limbs and cartoonish faces. With 300 poisoned samples, an attacker can manipulate Stable Diffusion to generate images of dogs to look like cats.
AI using artists work is inevitable and will be a thing. We can’t fight these change, we will resist these changes but eventually the majority will accept it for convenience. That’s what our society do. The only chance we get to control it, is that for every use of an artist work, a little payment is made for them. Think Spotify or stuff like that. At least until an economic revolution.
Either that, or aigen companies have to hire traning set artists or something like that. That’d be better all in all
I would like AI models to remain free and actually published as files instead of paywalled services
Wdym remain. All the big players cost money
