Comment on How do I "sabotage" my own online content to throw a wrench in AI training machines?

Images can be “glazed” with a software called “Glaze” that adds small changes to the images, so that they are unnoticeable to people, but very noticeable and confusing for an AI training on those images. (glaze.cs.uchicago.edu)
They also have another program called Nightshade that is meant to “fight back”, but I’m not too sure how that one works.

From my understanding, you choose a tag when nightshading, say hand cuz a handstudy, and when the bots take the drawing, they get poisoned data - as nightshade distorts what it “sees” (say, a human sees a vase with flowers, but it “sees” garbage bag). If enough poisoned art is scrapped, then the machine will be spitting out garbage bags instead of flower vases on dinner tables.
