Behold "Glaze", a software tool that subtly alters the pixels in a piece of art online 🎨 ...
... in a way that isn't detectable by the human eye 👀 ...
... but renders the image useless for training a visual AI. The AI can't detect the artists' style, and thus can't mimic it and copy it. 🤖 ✖️
It's item #1 in my weekly "Linkfest" newsletter here 📫 : https://buttondown.email/clivethompson/archive/linkfest-6-gps-on-the-moon-8-bit-jane-austen-and/

1. Screengrab from the academic paper describing Glaze. It shows pictures by three artists -- Karla Ortiz, Nathan Fowkes, and Claude Monet -- and how an AI can mimic their styles. Then it shows how the AI fails to mimic the styles when Glaze is used: The resulting artworks have been merged with the styles of Vincent Van Goh, Norman Bluhm, and Picasso, and no longer look like works by the original three artists

  The opposite of doomscrolling: Every week (roughly) I send you a collection of the best Internet reading I've found -- links to culture, technology, art and science that fascinated me. I'm Clive Thompson, a longtime science and tech reporter (Wired, New York Times Magazine), book author (Coders) and blogger. You can reach me at clive@clivethompson.net or on Mastodon. The newsletter is pay-what-you-want! I suggest $4 a month, but you can subscribe for as much as or little as you'd like; sign up for $0 a month and it's free.
