New Tool Could Poison DALL-E and Other AI to Help Artists
27.10.2023 - 20:07 / pcmag.com / New / Ai
Image-generating AI seems to be stuck between a rock and a hard place. To work well, it needs a massive treasure trove of well-annotated artwork to train it. That could get expensive, but it's free if you take it from the internet without asking. That latter bit has artists understandably upset, and the new Nightshade tool might give them the means to fight back.
Besides Shutterstock and Adobe, which have access to a large set of licensed artwork, most image-generating AI scrapes data from the internet to build learning models. It's a "better to ask forgiveness than permission" way of doing things, only without even asking forgiveness. But without that process, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and others wouldn't work as well as they currently do.
That leads to an ethical question: is it okay to use someone's art to train AI art generators without their permission? And if so, where is the line drawn? Sometimes, these data sets are for pure research, with no profit motive. In others, the intent is purely commercial, which means a company will benefit from an artist's work without ever compensating the artist.
Unfortunately for an artist who doesn't want their work used for AI at all, opting out is difficult. Not all companies have an opt-out option (such as Meta, despite earlier reports otherwise), and those that do will often promise to only remove the art from future learning models, not those that exist already.
That's where Nightshade comes in. As first reported by MIT Technology Review, Nightshade builds on earlier work by the University of Chicago to give artists a choice in how their artwork is used. The original version, Glaze, hid art styles from AI. While it may recognize that the art piece is a dog, for instance, it may incorrectly recognize the dog as drawn in anime instead of impressionism.
Nightshade goes a step further. The whole process works by making minute changes to pixels in the artwork. These changes are invisible to the human eye but detected by AI. The altered pixels corrupt the AI's understanding of the artwork by giving it a new word association with the subject. When it looks at an image of a dog, it misidentifies it as a cat.
Researchers tested the process by uploading altered images to Stable Diffusion and asking for similar generated art. Within 50 uploads, the results started to show. Instead of the perfect dog image, Stable Diffusion created distorted pictures with cartoonish faces or too many limbs. After 300 poisoned samples, Stable Diffusion produced perfect cats when prompted for dogs. Because generative AI makes connections between similar words, those corrupted images led to the same results with "husky," "puppy," and "wolf."

Shadows of Doubt modding tools will let you build cities and write your own murder mysteries
Shadows of Doubt is the voxel-based 1980s detective sim in which the glass is always rain-slicked, the coffee as bitter as the human soul, and the whodunnits, procedurally generated. Hard-nosed private eye Rachel (RPS in peace) pronounced herself fascinated but a little stumped by it, back in April, while Graham described it as his "ideal game" in a post about the recent addition of infidelity cases and lost-and-found jobs, adding to my suspicions that Graham is some kind of jigsaw killer and that his news posts are actually ciphered confessions of his terrible crimes.

Where to buy the new Steam Deck OLED, and other questions you may have
Valve has introduced the Steam Deck OLED, which offers more than just a better screen. It has many other improvements over the original model, ranging from faster Wi-Fi to a bigger battery. All of that being said, it isn’t advertised as a successor, and it’s no more powerful at running games than any other Steam Deck. It’s simply a premium alternative, like the Nintendo Switch OLED is to the regular Switch. You can check out our full review on the Steam Deck OLED.
