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.



It’s trivial to defeat this, and at the levels you need to really make it work, your image looks terrible. Don’t publicly share something if you don’t want it to get in a dataset somehow.
Eh, it’s not hard to hide things away in a website that only a bot (or a very determined human) will find. You don’t have to poison all your images, just enough of them.
Right, because artists are all about hoarding their work to themselves and not letting anyone get copies ever.
They’ll have to DRM it by restricting access to being there in person only, no recording devices whatsoever.
Clearly thats the only logical solution left.
