Have you heard about Glaze?
Glaze is a system designed to protect human artists by disrupting style mimicry. At a high level, Glaze works by understanding the AI models that are training on human art, and using machine learning algorithms, computing a set of minimal changes to artworks, such that it appears unchanged to human eyes, but appears to AI models like a dramatically different art style.
-Glaze Website
Lead by Project Lead Ben Zhao, Glaze webapp was used by our Summer Sprint team artists to post and send out sketch requests! The Glaze team has shown that they are very supportive of the rights of creatives around the world and their fight against AI-gen. Please check them out and support them!
They have recently made their webapp which is invite only at this time.
[COMING NEXT MONTH] Draw with InkBlot (Meet and Greet)
InkBlot will be hosting official bi-weekly Meet and Greet draw piles! Draw piles are when a group of artists come together and draw on a “single canvas”. This usually means folks are doodling, collaborating, or just watching while vibing. While you don’t actually have to draw, you can still come hangout and meet some cool members of the community as well as some staff and/or volunteers of IB!
Until then, be sure to follow the Official InkBlot account and Angel on site to keep up with future updates.
