Short list of anti-AI tools

Glaze

Glaze is a system designed to protect human artists by disrupting style mimicry. At a high level, Glaze works by understanding the AI models that are training on human art, and using machine learning algorithms, computing a set of minimal changes to artworks, such that it appears unchanged to human eyes, but appears to AI models like a dramatically different art style.

Nightshade

Nightshade, a tool that turns any image into a data sample that is unsuitable for model training

ArtShield

ArtShield embeds a well-camouflaged watermark into your images that helps prevent AI models from training on your data. This watermark is what models such as Stable Diffusion use to mark images that it generates in order to prevent it from training off of data it has produced itself.

Anti-DreamBooth

The system aims to add subtle noise perturbation to each user's image before publishing in order to disrupt the generation quality of any DreamBooth model trained on these perturbed images.

Mist

Mist is a powerful image preprocessing tool designed for the purpose of protecting the style and content of images from being mimicked by state-of-the-art AI-for-Art applications.

HarmonyCloak

HarmonyCloak is designed to protect musicians from the unauthorized exploitation of their work by generative AI models. At its core, HarmonyCloak functions by introducing imperceptible, error-minimizing noise into musical compositions.

Kudurru

Actively block AI scrapers from your website with Spawning's defense network

Nepenthes

This is a tarpit intended to catch web crawlers. Specifically, it's targetting crawlers that scrape data for LLMs - but really, like the plants it is named after, it'll eat just about anything that finds it's way inside.

AI Labyrinth

AI Labyrinth is a new mitigation approach that uses AI-generated content to slow down, confuse, and waste the resources of AI Crawlers and other bots that don’t respect “no crawl” directives.

Anubis

Anubis is a reverse proxy that requires browsers and bots to solve a proof-of-work challenge before they can access your site.

Iocaine

The goal of iocaine is to generate a stable, infinite maze of garbage.

quixotic

A Markov-Chain based text generator to create "fake content" for bots/LLM scrapers. No server-side dependencies and is ideal for static website operators. Quixotic can also transpose some of the images on your site while leaving the alt and caption content as-is (i.e., incorrectly describing the image being referenced). Can also be used with a companion web server called linkmaze which generates nonsense pages on the fly, creating a maze like other tools described above.

Poisoning AI while using static websites

Many of the tools above assume having control over a webserver and proxy to setup the poisoning infrastructure. There are a couple of decriptions for how to setup anti-AI-tools when using static site generators on Codeberg Pages, GitHub pages or similar places.

Quixotic on Codeberg Pages, using Jekyll

Describes how to modify a Jekyll CI-workflow to work to run quixotic on the output of a static website generated by Jekyll

Quixotic on GitHub Pages, using Hugo

Describes how to use Quixotic when using GitHub pages and Hugo by adapting the GitHub Actions.

Doing word-substitutions to create nonsense text for an 11ty-based page

Describes how to setup and use a word-substitution approach when deploying an 11ty-based website.

Using a Python script with pillow to modify images on a static website

Describes how to adapt a Codeberg Pages/Jekyll workflow (which already uses quixotic) to also create noise in images to throw off AI scrapers

"Although a nuclear confrontation based on fake intelligence may seem unlikely, the stakes during crises are high and timelines are short, creating situations where fake data could well tilt the balance toward nuclear war. "The evolution of nuclear systems has led to further ambiguity in crises and shorter timeframes for verifying intelligence. An intercontinental ballistic missile from Russia could reach the U.S. within 25 minutes. A submarine-launched ballistic missile could arrive even sooner.  "Many modern missiles carry ambiguous payloads, making it unclear whether they are nuclear-tipped. AI tools for verifying the authenticity of content are not sufficiently reliable, making this ambiguity difficult to resolve in a short window. "The likeliest nuclear hotspots are also the arenas involving actors with low levels of trust on both sides — be that the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party or Russia, or India and Pakistan. Even if communication is established in a...

Perplexity

The year-old search engine , whose founders previously worked in A.I. research at OpenAI and Meta, has quickly become one of the most buzzed-about products in the tech world. Tech insiders rave about it on social media, and investors like Jeff Bezos — who was also an early investor in Google — have showered it with cash. The company recently announced that it had raised $74 million in a funding round led by Institutional Venture Partners, which valued the company at $520 million. Many start-ups have tried and failed to challenge Google over the years. (One would-be competitor, Neeva, shut down last year after failing to gain traction.)  But Google seems less invincible these days.   Many users have complained that their Google search results have gotten clogged with spammy, low-quality websites, and some people have started looking for answers in places like Reddit and TikTok instead.

BYU study

Thousands of students are doubtless relying on ChatGPT to prepare for finals this time of year. Instructors less initiated into this ever-evolving, new AI tool might be curious — what exactly are their students doing with it? Probably quite a lot of things, according to a recent study conducted by a group of BYU professors who had that very question. When ChatGPT burst onto the scene in early 2023, the professors noticed all kinds of confusion on social media about who should be using it and why. They decided to ask 455 BYU students to share the prompts they’d fed ChatGPT and the instructions their teachers gave them about the new tech. The results showed that students were taking advantage of the tool’s interactive, iterative nature to converse with ChatGPT as they might with an instructor. “As one of the students commented, ‘It is like my 24/7 TA,’” said BYU computer science professor Amanda Hughes, a co-author of the paper, which was published in the proceedings of 57th Hawaii Inter...
