IMPORTANT: As a game studio, you shouldn't pay for #AI services *unless* they take 100% of the responsibility (and liability) for copyright infringement on generated outputs. That's not the case right now, hopefully it will change without there being lawsuits!

Adversarial Pixel Patterns Outside Natural Image Manifold
By
–
In particular, the pixel patterns used were specifically not on the "manifold" of natural images — thus making it difficult for algorithms such as Latent Diffusion to generate good results. Ironically, optimization techniques were used to find these adversarial pixel patterns!

Pixel patterns cause image blur for corporations using uncurated datasets
By
–
The use of these pixel patterns resulted in increasingly blurred images throughout the 2020s for corporations still using uncurated and infringing web-scale datasets — as opposed to the industry standard datasets based on opt-in consent.

Consent and Fair Compensation for Artists in AI Training
By
