I'm very skeptical that this "model poisoning" approach will work in practice. To pull it off would require a very high level of coordination among disparate people generating the training data (the images/text). I just can't imagine it happening. Add to that: big tech has A LOT of resources to play this cat & mouse game.

I hope I'm wrong, but I predict big tech wins here.

For image tracking it's enough to use Imgur for sharing, for any image, even own ones, no AI image needed. I miss the bot in Lemmy which redirects Videos to Piped, when Imgur is worst. Better alternatives, like File Coffee or Vgy.me, made in the EU are desirable.
