When I was a TA for the freshman art class in senior year my students really adored me. It was so sweet. Iâd had classes that were more ambivalent toward me but these guys were all about me.
I loved working with that teacher too. He was the kind of crunchy art nerd whose own kid didnât know what candy was, who loved bird watching and wearing tweed. Weâd chat while they worked and it was just a three hour pleasure rather than work.
When the class switched from charcoal to gouache a devil medium, the evilest watercolor, the students struggled. Weâd have in class painting where theyâd spend the whole time trying to mix one color instead of just accepting something as good enough and trying to practice other skills.
So one day I showed up to my shift and announced, âI have stickers. If you get color down for the whole composition, you get a sticker.â
They wanted. The stickers. So bad. Students who had agonized before about keeping lines neat and perfect plowed ahead. The first student to call me over I tsked at. âPutting grey on everything doesnât count,â I chided, âI asked for colors on each object.â
The classroom worked in furious joy, young adults who had seen my bird and cactus stickers and gone feral. The teacher was flabbergasted. âWhy do they want stickers? They could just buy stickersâŚâ
I held up my water bottle and showed him a tiny 3D bubble sticker the program director had brought to my game teams space last week. âYou never grow out of wanting to earn a sticker.â
By the end of class everyone had a sticker. There was more visible improvement in the work too, which surprised them since theyâd been rushing. âGouache looks terrible before it looks good. Itâs okay to start messy and then refine.â The teacher had said the same thing but looking at their frantic sticker paintings they finally saw the truth of it.

what artists dont tell you is that every compliment is actually 100 compliments because they'll go back to re-read it 100 times and it'll make them feel fuzzy all over again every single time

A new tool lets artists add invisible changes to the pixels in their art before they upload it online so that if itâs scraped into an AI training set, it can cause the resulting model to break in chaotic and unpredictable ways.Â
The tool, called Nightshade, is intended as a way to fight back against AI companies that use artistsâ work to train their models without the creatorâs permission. Using it to âpoisonâ this training data could damage future iterations of image-generating AI models, such as DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, by rendering some of their outputs uselessâdogs become cats, cars become cows, and so forth. MIT Technology Review got an exclusive preview of the research, which has been submitted for peer review at computer security conference Usenix.  Â
AI companies such as OpenAI, Meta, Google, and Stability AI are facing a slew of lawsuits from artists who claim that their copyrighted material and personal information was scraped without consent or compensation. Ben Zhao, a professor at the University of Chicago, who led the team that created Nightshade, says the hope is that it will help tip the power balance back from AI companies towards artists, by creating a powerful deterrent against disrespecting artistsâ copyright and intellectual property. Meta, Google, Stability AI, and OpenAI did not respond to MIT Technology Reviewâs request for comment on how they might respond.Â
Zhaoâs team also developed Glaze, a tool that allows artists to âmaskâ their own personal style to prevent it from being scraped by AI companies. It works in a similar way to Nightshade: by changing the pixels of images in subtle ways that are invisible to the human eye but manipulate machine-learning models to interpret the image as something different from what it actually shows.Â
