huge thank you and shout out to everyone who brought the “Live a Hero being published to Amazon” situation to my attention— it was removed before I could finish the DMCA and I can only assume the removal came from mass reports of the Plush Book publisher (known for stealing and publishing other writers’ work) and I am Very grateful to be backed by such an awesome community. Y’all really look after us writers and it’s honestly so sweet and cool to see

So huge huge thank you to everyone 💙 drop the ban hammer on their ass

Hiya!

So we all know that AI generators like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, DALL.E, Sora.AI, etc. have stolen the work from artists online to train their AI and since AI is starting to get quite scary, I've decided I'm going to start protecting my work via Nightshade, but I want to also talk about it with you and link to the official sites to Glaze and Nightshade, so you can get either of these programs to try.

First off, we'll start with Glaze AI.

What Glaze aims to do is to act on the defensive against AI. Glaze will scramble their generators by placing a “protective glaze” over your work, and what this will do, is when your work is fed into the AI, it'll trick the AI into thinking your work is something entirely different from what it is, simply by making small changes that only the AI will pick up on

To quote the official site “Glaze is a system designed to protect human artists by disrupting style mimicry. At a high level, Glaze works by understanding the AI models that are training on human art, and using machine learning algorithms, computing a set of minimal changes to artworks, such that it appears unchanged to human eyes, but appears to AI models like a dramatically different art style.”

I've tried using Glaze, but it's a very big program and my computer can't handle that, but I do highly recommend trying it out if you have the space for it.

If you wanna try it out, the link to the site can be found here.

Second is Nightshade.

Nightshade is aimed to “attack” the AI your work is being fed into. Like Glaze, Nightshade puts a protective “glaze” over your work, but it poisons your work and tricks the AI into messing up the user's prompt.

To quote the official site “Nightshade works similarly as Glaze, but instead of a defense against style mimicry, it is designed as an offense tool to distort feature representations inside generative AI image models. Like Glaze, Nightshade is computed as a multi-objective optimization that minimizes visible changes to the original image. While human eyes see a shaded image that is largely unchanged from the original, the AI model sees a dramatically different composition in the image.”

This program is also pretty big, but it's what my laptop is able to handle, so from here on out I'll be protecting my work with this. I'll also go back and protect my older works even if it's not as appealing as my newer works.

If you wanna try it out, the link to the site can be found here.

Keep in mind, these are only temporary solutions while we wait for more permanent ones.

But even if it's temporary, it's better than having no protection against the AI bros.

Some years ago many of us believed Musk was some kind of genius who'll take us all to Mars.

A lot of us believed that buying Tesla cars would be one of the most effective solution to crimate crisis.

Some of us also thought that AI would be a massive benefit to humanity or at least some sort of harmless hobby.

Oh. We were so wrong!

Elon Musk’s disdain for the Democratic Party was never subtle, but in recent weeks his commentary on the upcoming US presidential election and his attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris have intensified, aided by a crude use of burgeoning artificial intelligence technology, with the help of the new supercomputer dubbed Colossus he bought for his latest artificial intelligence startup, xAI, founded in 2023!

Musk posted an AI-generated image on Twitter/X that depicted Harris as a communist, wearing a red uniform complete with hammer and sickle emblazoned hat and captioned the image with the false assertion, “Kamala vows to be a communist dictator on day one. Can you believe she wears that outfit!?”

The image, which appeared to violate Twitter/X’s policy on manipulated content, resembled an AI-generated image posted by Trump last month during the Democratic National Convention, envisioning Harris addressing a crowd under communist symbols.

Fan-generated AI images have also become the Republican candidate’s latest obsession.

AI images of Trump looking defiant now dominate right-wing social media platforms and accounts and have featured heavily in this election campaign, even used, by Trump and Musk to spread blatant lies and misinformation to their followers mainly on Twitter/X.

Musk’s post came a day after he shared another post with a screenshot suggesting that only “high status males” should be able to participate in government because women (and men with “low testosterone”) are not capable of critical thought. Musk posted it to his 196 million followers with the comment, “interesting observation.”

However, this would exclude a big part of Trump electors and Musk fans, since they actually believed to their lies and persevere in their false perception of reality and society.

Elon Musk is a child of Apartheid. He wasn’t radicalized, he was cultivated. View all his actions through that lense and it all makes sense.

Remember: Elon Musk said Bezos' ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott is destroying western civilization by donating billions to charities for women, minorities and marginalized groups, so in response she doubled her donations.

Elon Musk just unmasked himself as the tech world's poster boy for fascism, openly endorsing a dystopian vision where only "high-status males" rule. His pathetic attempt to masquerade as a free speech advocate crumbles, revealing a dangerous elitist who sneers at democracy and equality.

Buenos dias, amigos. Is a wonderful day to cause the downfall of AI! We all hate it, so let's work together

I got this idea to draw the most fucked up warped shit ever and post it, purposely letting AI scape it. I can't use Nightshade so I'll do what I can. If anyone else would like to contribute please do!

Fellow artists, let's poison our wells.

Edit: fair warning this might not work at all, but I'm having fun with it and if enough people join in it means AI will have less actual art to scrape from (on Tumblr at least)

Edit 2: I'll add a list of names on this pinned post. Any name mentioned has argued in support of AI or made the false claim it doesn't invade copyright or steal from us. We can defend the good parts of AI when its not being used to steal from us and replace us. Until then, we only protest in this house. DO NOT HARRASS OR ENGAGE WITH LISTED USERS this list is here for all us normal people to block, not attack!

@/Vergess ("debunking another stupid anti ai post from people who can't be bothered to actually learn about it")

@/demise-of-soul (literally said stealing art was good?)

[muclunga]

GUYS DID WE FINALLY DEFEAT @ NOTMYANNABETH????

I CANT FIND THEM ANYWHERE.

DID WE WIN???

Is this real???

[citruslullabies]

“FUCK AI ART!!” We say in unison

FUCK AI ART

[i-am-trans-gwender]

I fucking love the sentence "An Ai overview is not available for this search."

[preciouslandmermaid]

Casual reminder that AI relies on us giving art a "passing glance" instead of sitting and noticing the details.

Check this post for the things I pointed out in the images in greater detail <3

[arianimates]

So I got an ask (that might be a troll) saying that my art looks AI generated. And I just gotta ask, how??? First off, I'm kind of offended that my art was compared to the shitty abomination that is AI. Second, why would I waste my time feeding the Ai when I can just pick up a pencil and draw?? Third, at least my designs don't: - have inconsistent patterns - have fucked up looking hands - have stuff clipping into each other - have next to zero emotion Finally, I don't support Ai works of any kind here. And I like to think my art is actually good sooo Fellow artists, if you think that my art is AI generated, at least point out how it looks that way. Also Ai artists are not real artists. Ai is theft.

Fuck off

if i hear one more pro-ai take i fear i may start exploding people with my brain

I’m seeing so many people posting about glaze and nightshade and webglaze all being difficult to access and how frustrating that is which is valid!!

The answer is Cara!!! They partnered with Glaze and have their own web browser for running it and it doesn’t require jumping through hoops to gain access like WebGlaze. all you need is to make an account and BAM you have access. The one drawback is that they don’t have the bandwith to do it quickly so it can take a couple hours, but it doesn’t kill your computer to do so!

Here’s the link and i wish you all a happy glazing and ai ruining❤️

Also to opt out of tumblr forking over your content to train ai, you have to scroll past settings down to the bottom and click Visibility. It took me ages to find it as all the posts i found saying where to find it said it was in blog settings. Kinda feels like they’re intentionally making it hard to find…
