Nightshade might do something similar. I haven't used it yet so I don't know much about the details and whether it really works and if it deforms images.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

From what I last heard those don’t really work anymore
Seems you're right. Data poising seems to be very limited and challenging in general. And only works in laboratory conditions or for very specific, narrow use cases. What I learned from googling for a few minutes is, these tools either stopped working, never worked, or they're snake oil.
Yup, exactly what I found when I last looked into them. Which is a shame. I would so love to use something like that to protect my photography work.
prompt injection via images is a thing, but just as getting "good" output is a gamble than can be made easier with good prompts, prompt injection is a gamble that's made less effective with better and specially tailored prompts and tools.
Nightshade or Glaze. One Protects your Image, the other Poisons the whole Image Set
I'll look into that!
I've heard good things about Nightshade. It slightly alters the image, but makes it nearly incompressible to AIs. It basically poisons the well for using it as training data, but is difficult to spot with human eyes.
Even if you add a visable text in image it will still not work i have tried that before.
