If you are pro-ai, there are plenty of other threads for you to talk about that, while this thread is specifically for creatives and publishers looking to protect themselves from the inherent risks of gen-ai. This is not another place on the internet for techbros' to bash on artists that are simply trying to earn a living.Anyway,<a href="https://medium.com/@julia-carden/the-best-techniques-to-safeguard-your-work-from-ai-98825d42df7a" target="_blank">Here is a link</a> to a short article about how creatives can protect their work from the invasive technology that is generative-ai.TL<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />R: Glaze & Nightshade are a thing. As well as a new notice you can put into your publications to prevent data scraping.I know that the techbro's on the forums like to bash on Glaze/ Nightshade saying it isn't effective (well good for you techbros, bragging about how easy it is to steal work from people who are struggling to pay the rent), but it is still in development and will eventually become more effective (we hope so, anyway).Here is the new written notice you might want to include in your publications:I updated the notice myself to include images, as they were absent from the original statement, as it was created to protect writers, while visual artists might want to include this notice instead:I am not a lawyer, I am not providing any legal advice, I am simply trying to help inform creatives about the tools currently in development aimed at preventing the theft of their creative works.Please feel free to discuss anything like Glaze, Nightshade, or the crucial need for transparency in the face of generative ai in this thread (or any other issues affecting artists like the loss of work or the difficulties being faced by artists due to gen-ai).This thread is not for the discussion of how neat gen-ai images generators are, or your personal hot take on the legality of gen-ai, as that is already being discussed elsewhere in great numbers. There is currently very little regarding information for creatives and publishers with concerns on the subject, and I would hope that regardless of your personal opinion, that you can respect that those of us who rely on our creative work to earn a living need some kind of place to discuss our concerns without being harassed or cyberstalked like I have seen from techbros elsewhere on the forums.Respectfully,Art</blockquote>
