FASCINATING Stuff! We've all seen AI cloning voices, videos - - just about all media available in the world. AI is even trying to clone works of art and imitate the artistic styles of well known / famous talent. Well THAT may come to an end - real soon now. There are several platforms that offer FREE digital image encoding such that if many such encoded images are entered into an AI database, that database will become corrupted to the point that requesting the AI produce an image of a Cat produces a Dog, Snail, or something totally uninterpretable. Artists that distribute their works in digital format (we used to call them 'comic books') would do well to encode each page using this technology to prevent their characters and styles from being stolen/replicated. Please see the attached article from MIT Tech Review, Vol 137, Jan/Feb 2024

Hurray! Hopefully other software can be devised to protect the property rights other artists like musicians or photographers whose intellectual property was stolen without authorization or compensation by scum like Sam Altman CEO of OpenAI.
