- Title: Adversarial Perturbations Cannot Reliably Protect Artists From Generative AI
- Authors: Robert Hönig, Javier Rando, Nicholas Carlini, Florian Tramèr,
- Abstract summary: Several protection tools against style mimicry have been developed that incorporate small adversarial perturbations into artworks published online.
We find that low-effort and "off-the-shelf" techniques, such as image upscaling, are sufficient to create robust mimicry methods that significantly degrade existing protections.
We caution that tools based on adversarial perturbations cannot reliably protect artists from the misuse of generative AI.

- Abstract: Artists are increasingly concerned about advancements in image generation models that can closely replicate their unique artistic styles. In response, several protection tools against style mimicry have been developed that incorporate small adversarial perturbations into artworks published online. In this work, we evaluate the effectiveness of popular protections -- with millions of downloads -- and show they only provide a false sense of security. We find that low-effort and "off-the-shelf" techniques, such as image upscaling, are sufficient to create robust mimicry methods that significantly degrade existing protections. Through a user study, we demonstrate that all existing protections can be easily bypassed, leaving artists vulnerable to style mimicry. We caution that tools based on adversarial perturbations cannot reliably protect artists from the misuse of generative AI, and urge the development of alternative non-technological solutions.

Distinguishing AI generated images from human art is a challenging problem.
A failure to address this problem allows bad actors to defraud individuals paying a premium for human art and companies whose stated policies forbid AI imagery.
We curate real human art across 7 styles, generate matching images from 5 generative models, and apply 8 detectors.

Against Unauthorized Data Usage in Diffusion-Based Generative AI [52.90082445349903]
Diffusion-based image generation models can create artistic images that mimic the style of an artist or maliciously edit the original images for fake content.
Several attempts have been made to protect the original images from such unauthorized data usage by adding imperceptible perturbations.
In this work, we introduce a purification perturbation platform, named IMPRESS, to evaluate the effectiveness of imperceptible perturbations as a protective measure.
