Artists can now use a data poisoning tool to confuse image-generating AI models like DALL-E
The tool, called Nightshade, adds invisible changes to the pixels in the art so that if it’s scraped into an AI training set, it can cause the resulting model to break in chaotic and unpredictable ways. It is seen as a way to fight back against AI companies that use artists’ work to train their models without the creator’s permission.
