Researchers recently created a tool to help human artists fight back against AI companies that would use their work to train their content-generating algorithms. Enter “Nightshade,” a software that artists can use to “poison” large language models that attempt to ingest their art. While “Nightshade” might be a nice stopgap, it’s really not the solution the creative industry needs. Instead, we need laws that regulate the use of copyrighted material by AI algorithms.
