OK this is a bit late, but we just opened up WebGlaze today, a free web service that Glazes your art for protection against style mimicry by generative AI models.

If you need/want an invite, please reply here (no DMs???), DM me on twitter (@ravenben) or IG or email. No AI artists please.

New update Glaze 1.0 is so good now with flat colors/comic art styles, and even high res high contrast photographs! Here's an original & glazed fashion photo from Jingna Zhang (https://zhangjingna.com, @zemotion on twitter), both posted with permission.

Well, looking increasingly like twitter is going belly up. For friends here, esp artists, this is my first "tweet" reminding folks to protect their art with Glaze so they can't be used to train a model to mimic & replace you. https://glaze.cs.uchicago.edu
