Read this article about the new Anti-AI AI-tool that will try to protect your artwork from AI crawlers.

 

Glaze will attempt to cloak an image in a way that the style of it will be recognized in a wrong way by AI mining bots.

This seems to be the first attempt of an application using AI to protect against the recently controversial AI tools like Daydream, Dall-e and Stable Diffusion.

 

The tool works in both ways ensure a verification of its own output. The app is free but is also terribly slow and it can create visible artifacts.

It's naive.

 

AI Graphic is beyond control. Every style was already copied, mutated, mixed a billion time by AI. Within the AI universe the notion of "source", "originality" or "singularity" doesn't make sense. It's a flow of data...

 

The example used by Glaze is quite strange. I don't see a link between the "Original Art Pieces" by Ortiz and the "Without cloak protection AI generated art pieces". One does not mimic the other. They could have been done by different artists. The AI images are original in a way!

 

I'm also questioning the method used. It's basically a filter that make random variation of style in every artwork. This prevents the AI from "learning" the style of an Artist. The AI will consider that these images were made by different artists. It won't be able to link them together, and to answer "in the style of THIS artist" requests. 
But who cares? It's too late. The AI has already digested billions of images (photos, illustrations, designs, artworks,...) and understands the style of most famous painters, schools and genre. Protecting now a few artworks with a time consuming process - one hour per image - seems totally futile.

1 pixel blur, reprocess the images, cloaking system defeated. 

 

Another source or publisher puts the images on their gallery, cloak defeated.

 

AI programmers find a simple way around it, cloak defeated.

 

This will all be as effective as the loading screen on a 1970's pacman arcade game telling you the FBI says not to do drugs.

Been awhile since I posted this link, but if anyone here hasn't seen this yet please give it a watch. AI is basically the Borg of Star Trek lore coming for us in the here and now. "Resistance is futile."
