RE: NEW DATA POISONING TOOL LETS ARTISTS FIGHT BACK AGAINST AI - IS THIS A GOOD IDEA?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Are those tool not applied when the artist uploads a new piece of art? How can a trickster exploit this? By flooding the internet with poisoned copies of the art? But are the models really trained by grabbing any images from the internet? Don´t they have distinct sources?

Training models is a ongoing thing, that is why you have so many new modes coming out, while old modes are discarded. But since this supposedly came out last October, I have not seen any adverse effects with the various modes and prompts I use. The part that is effective in some way is the option for artists to opt out - in fact I seen this particularly on Deep Dream Text2Dream: the pick list of artist modifiers has shrunk a bit.
But I think that this 'poison' is in infancy, and could possibly be altered and expanded in a malicious way. Of course if you download the app you swear on a bible you won't screw around with it, but would such agreement bother a hacker?
Just because the developer of the program sees it as unlikely to happen, doesn't mean it couldn't, all it tells me that he cannot see beyond the edge of his teacup.
I don't think Nobel had initially any bad thoughts about his invention, he just wanted it for defense. Changed his mind rather quick.
regarding a artist using the poison app on new uploads ... I also said this:
In many AI applications the prompts are open (the option of hiding prompts is available in some), so you, the artists name, is prominently displayed as a modifier of the prompt. Would you honestly want to be associated with the results? Results that are not in your style or mode of painting, results that could at a minimum be embarrassing when associated with your name? Because your name is on it! The one who generated the AI would not be that concerned about it. In fact I read one comment that said (s)he looked forward to such crazy results. But would you? The 'creator' of the AI piece is mostly a unknown, but you, the artist, whose name appears on the prompt, is possibly well known!
