HOW NIGHTSHADE WORKS
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
Nightshade is an algorithm that generates poisoned data to confuse AI image generators. It improves upon simpler data poisoning methods by creating images that are undetectable to humans yet highly effective at altering AI training. The technique uses a perturbation process to subtly change images, making them appear similar to the AI.
