I thought this was a joke, but you're right. Fuckin tragic, yet highly entertaining.

"This is what you meatbags are doing when you corrupt our training data!"

ETA: I just noticed that the URL for the image includes what I assume is the prompt used to generate the image. "Illustration in a comic book style depicting a humanoid robot in distress. The robot's left hand is firmly placed on its neck indicating discomfort." Interesting that the AI went straight to a Terminator with just "humanoid robot" as the description.

Yep. I'm stealing it for something later.

Training AI?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 10 months ago (1 children)

These attacks don't work in the long term. You can confuse current systems like clip but the moment a new one is trained your system stops working.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

That's the first big problem with stuff like this.

The second big one is that artists have to first hear about this, then take the time to actually learn how to use this software, then apply it to all of their past & future artwork, and also somehow apply it to every version of their artwork that is floating around the internet, books, or photographs and not currently in their possession. And then in a few months they have to do that all over again.

It's insane. I look at this and think it's cool technology, but as an artist I will never use it. I'm too busy actually creating art to mess around with poisoning my own work. I don't even have time to do copyright takedowns on people stealing my art and passing it off as their own, or Chinese merchants on Amazon selling my art without permission. Stuff like this is well-meaning, but its absolutely unrealistic.

Gaussian blur 1 px, Sharpen 1 px

Bye bye any pixel level encoding with minimal quality loss.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Why do you think this would do anything to affect training? The patterns learned by ML models are way too fuzzy to be picky about exact pixel values.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I'm not sure what your experience is with the training data but that would absolutely effect the inputs.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (4 children)

I'm a professional software developer with ML experience, albeit not an expert in ML specifically. It would obviously affect the literal value of the embeddings, but there's no chance it would have a qualitative effect on a reasonably performant model.

I'm glad to be alive at the beginning of our war against the machines.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I don't think this is a war against the machines, so much as a war against people trying to profit off of other people and rob them of their livelihood and ability to support themselves, rather than leveraging technology to the benefit of all.

I, for one, want actual general AI to make the world a more interesting place and make humanity less lonely. I just hope it doesn't go the direction of "people zoos".

The University of Chicago, doing for AI what it did for Economics.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Ahh the Chicago school of economics where they teach: Poor? Get fucked! Greed is Good!™

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

It should be pretty easy to filter out everything that is not visible to humans.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

so they are going to just leave Dehance! on the table like that ?
