Cara, an app designed to prevent artists’ work from being used to train AI, has seen a surge in its user base, tripling its base to over 300,000 in just a few days.
Cara is different in that she tags all posts with “NoAI,” signaling to job grabbers that they should avoid the content, but she admits these tags aren’t foolproof. Cara also uses tools like Cara Glaze, developed at the University of Chicago’s SAND lab, to distort the AI’s understanding of art styles. Another upcoming tool, Nightshade, will preserve art by poisoning AI training data.
The platform, which is available for free through an app or browser, also moderates AI content to ensure only AI-generated tagged art is published.
