hot take: all ai software that generates art should legally be required to notify people, ideally via a lil banner or something, that it is ai generated and is not real. AND it should credit artists it was based off of.

Many AI companies put an invisible and irremovable watermark on their generated images that can be used to identify if it’s generated or not

I’ve been avoiding posting my wok online bc I absolutely do not want it being used to train ai under any circumstances. It genuinely blows my mind how companies are engaging in mass plagiarism every minute but people don’t care

Yeah unfortunately, I think most generated content comes from big AI corps subject to regulations but there will definitely be smaller ones that will evade that watermarking, it will be up to human experts to deduce if something is AI

There’s software that you can use on your image that fucks up any AI that puts it into its training data! One of them is called Nightshade iirc

Maybe I’ll use that at some point. I love my photography, just I have no outlet to get it out there

Considering the tool came out 1-2 years ago I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s no longer effective. Your best bet is probably to post it on a site that blocks web crawlers
