While tools like Glaze and Nightshade can directly interfere with AI models, some AI companies offer ways for users to opt out of having their images used in training data.

AI-generated visuals seem unavoidable. It permeates social media platforms and can be found in movies and video games you play. Even worse for individuals who already feel left behind by technology, it has been used to sell the actual hardware that real human artists use to make digital paintings and graphics. 

To the creators seeking to prevent their works from being utilized without permission or payment to improve the exact thing that threatens to ruin their jobs and way of life, its pervasiveness appears especially outrageous. Some AI picture-generating programs allow users to input reference photos they want to copy, and the data pools used to train generative AI models frequently contain images that are randomly scraped from the internet. 

Some AI businesses offer creators the option to opt their work out of training, despite the fact that the tools are frequently intricate and time-consuming. Additionally, there are programs like Kin.Art and Glaze that provide visual artists with more protection but render their creations unusable for training.
