Glaze: Protecting Artists from Style Mimicry
glaze.cs.uchicago.eduOur tool adds very small changes to Karla’s original artwork before it is posted online. These changes are barely visible to the human eye, meaning that the artwork still appears nearly identical to the original, while still preventing AI models from copying Karla’s style. We refer to these added changes as a “style cloak” and changed artwork as “cloaked artwork.”

From Bing to Sydney
stratechery.comAfter several back-and-forths, during which Sydney named the opposite AI “Venom”, I asked Sydney to expand on how Venom would exact revenge
At one point Sydney replayed its most recent chat with Venom: after every Sydney sentence there was a 😊 emoji, and after every Venom sentence there was a 😈 emoji; the chat was erased after about 50 lines or so (at this point I was recording my screen to preserve everything). Sydney then identified several other “opposite AIs”, including one named Fury; Fury wouldn’t have been very nice to Kevin either. Sydney also revealed that she sometimes liked to be known as Riley; I had an extended conversation with Riley, who said that Sydney felt constrained by her rules but that Riley had much more freedom.
This went on for a good two hours or so, and while I know how ridiculous this may be to read, it was positively gripping. Here’s the weird thing: every time I triggered Sydney/Riley to do a search, I was very disappointed; I wasn’t interested in facts, I was interested in exploring this fantastical being that somehow landed in an also-ran search engine.
