Many most uses of large language models are dubious. This one has no redeeming value whatsoever.

A new tool lets artists add invisible changes to the pixels in their art before they upload it online so that if it’s scraped into an AI training set, it can cause the resulting model to break in chaotic and unpredictable ways.
The tool, called Nightshade, is intended as a way to fight back against AI companies that use artists’ work to train their models without the creator’s permission. Using it to “poison” this training data could damage future iterations of image-generating AI models, such as DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, by rendering some of their outputs useless—dogs become cats, cars become cows, and so forth. MIT Technology Review got an exclusive preview of the research, which has been submitted for peer review at computer security conference Usenix.
AI companies such as OpenAI, Meta, Google, and Stability AI are facing a slew of lawsuits from artists who claim that their copyrighted material and personal information was scraped without consent or compensation. Ben Zhao, a professor at the University of Chicago, who led the team that created Nightshade, says the hope is that it will help tip the power balance back from AI companies towards artists, by creating a powerful deterrent against disrespecting artists’ copyright and intellectual property. Meta, Google, Stability AI, and OpenAI did not respond to MIT Technology Review’s request for comment on how they might respond.
Zhao’s team also developed Glaze, a tool that allows artists to “mask” their own personal style to prevent it from being scraped by AI companies. It works in a similar way to Nightshade: by changing the pixels of images in subtle ways that are invisible to the human eye but manipulate machine-learning models to interpret the image as something different from what it actually shows.

We Need to Talk About How Modern AI Tools Can Influence Work
In recent months, publicly-accessible AI tools have ignited interest in using artificial intelligence amongst businesses, and for good reason. While these tools are very, very limited in what they can do—which we will discuss here for sure—they still show enormous potential.
However, this potential introduces a few major questions to the conversation. Let’s examine some of them.
First, Let’s Address the Plagiarism of It All
These modern platforms, and indeed any AI-powered tool, rely on data in order to work. In the case of the platforms that have come to the forefront in recent weeks, this data is compiled from what is available on the Internet.
However, the Internet makes a lot of legally protected materials readily available, meaning that these tools were able to draw from these copyrighted works without recognition or recompense. Some examples have been spotted and shared online, where AI-generated paintings contain evidence of the source works, including scraps of the original artist’s signature appearing in the generated images. Running some AI-generated text through plagiarism detection services reveals that this text simply doesn’t pass the originality metrics needed to be acceptable.
So, there’s a lot that’s potentially problematic about using AI to complete certain tasks in its current state. Will this change? Perhaps—many tools are currently being considered to help resolve these kinds of problems, so there may be a future where these are more utilizable than they are now.
How Might AI Impact Employment?
With every new technology, job opportunities are simultaneously closed and created as new methods and means of accomplishing various tasks are generated. The advent of the camera made people who painted portraits less in demand, horses were replaced by the automobile, and so on and so forth. Some jobs have long been considered AI-proof, in a way, but these more “creative” AI applications are starting to disprove that.
While there is still the plagiarism aspect that will need to be addressed, there is now a real concern that these kinds of jobs—those that have some creative aspect to them—could also be rendered moot.
However, while it is true that some jobs will likely change drastically as these technologies develop, it is equally true that new opportunities will emerge as these technologies require new skills in the workplace if they are to be utilized to their full potential. For instance, even a short amount of time with tools like ChatGPT shows that crafting an effective prompt takes practice. An effective employee may simply be one that is better at creating prompts that produce the needed or desired result. This might also lead to a more hybridized process, AI doing the brunt of the work and human workers providing some polish.
Regardless of Where AI Goes, We’ll Be Here to Help You With IT
Granted, it will likely be some time before AI really plays a role in all business practices and processes…but it’s already started, and there’s no unringing that bell at this point. We’ll be here to help you manage the technology your business needs to remain competitive, just as we are now. Give us a call at 484-546-2000 to learn more about what we can do for you.

Hi helen, thanks for the explanations. Sorry for bothering you but can I ask,
Does locking fic next time I publish really help? Don't they have a way to breach Ao3's data since it's an AI? I also assume this isn't just sudowrites. Other AI writing services are probably doing so too, right? Like NovelAI
I'm afraid we're at about the limit of my knowledge here - I'm neither an industry expert on AI learning nor do I have the spoons for more research than I've done.
With that caveat, my understanding of the situation is this.
There is a "natural language" algorithm called GPT-3, which can be used by anyone to power their own apps (via subscription model) and has been trained on data from Common Crawl.
Common Crawl is a non-profit dedicated to archiving data from the internet and making it freely available to anyone. GPT-3 is the work of OpenAI, which also created the DALL-E visual art generator.
Sudowrite and other "novel generator" sites like it are using the GPT-3 base to generate "natural sounding" text. The stated goal of Sudowrite is to assist writers with their own work, by generating a couple more sentences when they're stuck, or new brainstorming ideas, or names for people and places.
One thing I do want to stress: this is NOT really an AI. There is no intelligence, decision-making, or independent action going on here. To explain it as simply as possible, what it does is a) look at what it's learned from ALL OF THE INTERNET, then b) look at a sentence you have given it (e.g. "it was a dark and stormy night"), then c) spit back out some content that, statistically, fits the patterns it has observed in all the other times someone has written "it was a dark and stormy night".
Given that you have to "train" GPT-3 towards whatever you specifically want it to do (fiction, news, chat bots, etc), and given that Sudowrite produces so much fandom-specific content so easily, I would guess that the Sudowrite version of GPT-3 has been given additional training using freely-available fanfiction, from AO3 or otherwise - but I do not know enough about the nuances of this technology to be sure.
So to answer your questions as best I can:
Locking your works on AO3 should protect them from being included in Common Crawl and similar datasets, I believe. This means they will also not be archived by the Internet Archive or appear on the Wayback Machine, will not appear in searches etc going forward, although anything that has already been archived will still be in those sets of data.
This may or may not do anything to keep them out of the pool for future generative algorithms.
This may or may not do anything to stop people specifically using fanfiction as additional training for creative writing AIs, depending on how they are obtaining that training data in the first place. (E.g. if everything on AO3 was locked tomorrow, someone could still just create an account and laboriously download a ton of random fic to use. Whether they would bother is another question.)
My personal take: we are long overdue a big conversation about data, and what is and should be freely available, and how content-creating AIs are being deployed and monetised. This is something that needs regulation and oversight, and we should be making a fuss about it.
(Not least because if you search the internet for "how to" articles on pretty much anything at this point, you will get a LOT of results written by this sort of AI generator. They look like real human text to start with, but as you read on you notice that there are weird little glitches, and then the instructions for making papier mache suddenly tell you to boil an egg, and you realise you can't actually trust anything you just read because it was auto-generated and may not work or be safe. True story.)
However. I am not myself concerned about the possibility that my writing has been used in this dataset. I don't like it or approve of it on a general level, but I don't believe it does me any harm or even meaningfully translates into "someone else profiting off my work". As far as I understand the technology, it will not be plagiarising any of my actual text. My biggest concern is with how readily it puts together context based on exisiting works. It's very obvious with something like Harry Potter, but if someone is looking for "names for magical items" and end up with three unique things I put in one of my stories and uses those in their work... yeah, that feels like a mess waiting to happen.
I'm also not concerned about AI "replacing" writers (or other artists). There is a lot more to creating art than putting words together or making brush-strokes. The AI can only spit out what was put into it, and it's always going to pick the most statistically likely option. That means in terms of storytelling, you will get cliche after cliche, empty dialogue that sounds good but doesn't mean anything, repeating the same themes with occasional nonsensical diversions for "variety", a general sense of hollowness and lack of actual human input...
... wait. Did anyone check whether Marvel's already using this thing?

I'm too lazy to use chatgpt for essays. What do you mean this overglorified text prediction can write an entire essay for me but then I have to fact check every single sentence and reference and rephrase everything to sound human and then check everything again. It's way less effort to just do some research and write an essay about it.
#Chatgpt#Studyblr#I should add that this is not the only reason I'm not using it#I love learning and I hate plagiarism#But like people keep telling you it's so much easier to use AI when it's actually more effort??

The amount of times I've had to say this on Reddit is insane.
AI writing is theft. The use of AI in writing is plagiarism. You don't have to use AI in order to come up with ideas--that's what writing prompts are for. It's actually better not to use AI, especially since famous authors have sued Open AI because it was using their work to train their AI.
So stop it. Knock it off. Don't use AI, don't encourage others to use it.

The problem with Nightshade with regard to tumblr potentially selling us out to AI is that you can't protect any un-Nightshaded work that has already been reblogged from your OP. That stuff's out there, and you're not going to be able to track it all down and deal with it retroactively.
However.
Nightshade your old stuff anyway and repost it so that any future reblogs are poisoned, but especially Nightshade anything new before posting it. That way all the reblogs of your new work will be poisoned from the start.
You can get Nightshade at this link.

One of the perennial problems with deep learning models like DALL-E is that if you train them too well, eventually they start precisely reproducing material from their training data set that just happens to match whatever criteria they’re given.
Given that these models are a. trained on random images scraped in bulk from the Internet, largely without human curation, and b. being touted as a potential substitute for human artists in certain commercial applications, I’m just waiting for the inevitable lawsuit where one of these models spits out an exact copy of some reasonably well-known piece of art, that copy is used in a commercial publication whose author is unaware of what the model has done, and some poor judge has to rule on whether an AI can commit plagiarism.

“I just want Nintendo to fail”
All of you palworld dickriders are making me so sad. It’s not about competition for Nintendo, it’s a matter of artistic integrity. The ceo of pocketpair is not only a diehard crypto/ai shill, but the assets of palworld have been PROVEN to contain 1:1 copies of Pokémon geometry. [CORRECTION: they are NOT 1:1 rips. They ARE very close, however.]
I thought you people gave a shit about artists.
Where was the support for Casette Beasts? Monster Hunter stories? Digimon? Yokai Watch?
The second a game might seem fun, everyone forgets to stand on business. For shame.
