Raw LLM Responses

hey guys! thank you for the incredible support on this video! wanted to answer some frequent comments down here~ Q: Does Nightshade/Glaze cost money? A: No, it is free, however it does require a compatible GPU on Windows. Q: Won't the scrapers just find a way around this? A: Yes, but just like anti-virus technology, Glaze and Nightshade are constantly being updated and improved. Every attack on Glaze/Nightshade ends up with a better, stronger version of it. Q: This doesn't work bc scrapers will find a way to detect it and remove any poisoned images! A: That would be a good outcome as well, that would mean Nightshaded images will not end up training the AI after all! Q: This doesn't work bc scrapers will blur out the poison and AI re-upscale the image! A: Any attempt to remove the artifacts Nightshade adds also removes good image info that the scrapers are looking for. If they 1: notice that the image is poisoned, which is an if, and 2: put in the computing power to try to deglaze or remove poison, they are also compromising the information they're trying to scrape. Either way, the images are much less useful to the generator, and its more expensive for them. Q: AI scraping is fair use, not stealing! A: So far, it's looking like the law doesn't agree with you on that. https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2024/08/15/us-artists-score-victory-in-landmark-ai-copyright-case Q: AI is inevitable! Stop resisting, you simple artist! In one year this technology will be a cyberpunk god and you will be a wage slave!!!!111! A: Okay, chill out with the villain monologues. People said the same thing when artists complained about NFTs, that they'd just be a part of our lives and we could opt in or get steamrolled, and guess what actually happened? Let's just say I'm glad I didn't put a down payment on some epic apes.
