The hilarious thing is, it actually does work... if you grab the source image, and don't screenshot their art from their videos. I can't believe how many of these AI hate artists don't consider that. I mean it's how I made my Anime Faithful LoRA's, and my GingaNinjaOwO LoRA all those were, was really good screenshots, mixed with detailed manual training prompts.

@VegaProxy That the thing Nighshade is supposed to work "even in screenshots". Its all snake oil. Hell just open it in Paint and Re save and its gone. The shit is in the container not the image and any scraper worth their salt does this by Default due to how CRAP windows is with headers. Either way i am glad they are so technically inept.

It works to a degree and may be useful against big tech who will always prioritize efficiency, but not really against individual trainers, who are the people she keeps taunting. People have more patience than the haters give them credit for. No matter how many defenses you put up, they'll have the patience to filter everything and still train a model. What I hate the most is that she is selling hope, I absolutely despise that.

She actually doubled-down on her endorsement, meanwhile the only "proof" there is of Nightshade actually working is...tests conducted by Nightshade. At this point just let the kids have their placebo.

I mean hey, if Nightshade works then you don't have to worry about AI """stealing""" from you, right?
