A.I. Can Be Poisoned

Stream Notes: 10/27/23
(Poison) the Cog in the Machine

Since the Pandora’s Box known as A.I. was opened, it has been a thorn in the side of artists. Finding ways to protect themselves (and their works) has been a challenge for artists, but it seems humans have found a way: A poison, of sorts.

Although not the first time, new programs are finding more creative ways to cheat or trick these algorithm-sieves by adding “invisible” pixel edits to corrupt the data pool. This not only protects the individual artwork, but also taints the entirety of the A.I.’s result.

This method may only be a temporary countermeasure against the computer challenger, but it grants a level of protection and comfort for the human creators for the moment.
