Comment on Tech to protect images against AI scrapers can be beaten, researchers show
Feyd@programming.dev 1 day agoYou’re completely talking past me. Everyone knew it was a flimsy baracade and that if the LLM companies hadn’t circumvented it they would soon. That doesn’t stop people from continuing to innovate. Publishing the results mean there is a public solution anyone can use.
Do I think it’s the worst thing that could happen? Not really, but your security through obscurity argument makes no sense in this context and it would probably be better if it wasn’t done and published so every bad actor can use it with minimal effort.

Mhm, fair enough, I suppose this is a difference in priorities then. Personally, I’m not nearly as worried about small players, like hobbyists, who wouldn’t’ve already developed something like this in house.
And I keep bringing up “security through obscurity” because frankly, I’m somewhat optimistic that this can work out like encryption has, where tons of open source research was done into encryption and decryption, until we worked out encryption standards that we can run at home that are unbreakable before the heat death of the universe with current server farms.
Many of those people releasing decryption methods would’ve been considered villains, because it made hacking some previously private data easy and accessible, but that research was the only way to get to where we are, and I’m hopeful that one day we actually could make an unbeatable AI poison, so I’m happy to support research that pushes us towards that end.
I’m just not satisfied preventing Bill down the street from AI training on art without permission while knowingly leaving Google and OpenAI an easy way to bypass it.

Yeah there’s the difference. I’m not convinced there is a robust poison but I’d love to be wrong

Amen to that, here’s to hoping.
