Anyone willing to share their opinions on the output of nightshade/glaze for their art?
I wish it wouldn't mess with the quality too much, but it seems like for my Live2D model showcases it really kind of ruins any detail and I don't know how I feel about it personally. Maybe I'll offer the original HQ version behind a ko-fi/patreon subscription paywall?
It's scary because I don't know how far site scrapers can reach for AI data farming. It's a shame artists have to live like this in this day and age, while AI artists whine that they deserve respect for doing the equivalent of a google search and picking a pretty picture.
I still want to do my part though in harming datasets by using these tools. Maybe a few years of multiple artists using it will save us from AI outputs? It literally would not exist without our work being fed into it. Might as well poison its water with nightshade/glaze tampered works to fight against it.
Also does anyone else feel pessimistic that AI will essentially flood the internet with its garbage? Sure it looks pretty, but I personally view it as soulless work with no actual intention or creativity behind it.
