艺术家数据抓取者转变为倡导者,助力保护艺术作品
一位摄影师和她的150万艺术家社区面临多次人工智能数据抓取,如今一名曾抓取数据的用户正在帮助他们。
cara, a platform for artists opposed to ai training on their work, was hit by three major data scrapes in august. the first scrape, on august 13, pulled 12 million works from cara, or nearly its entire public library. the scraper, who posted the data on reddit, boasted that it cost him less than $10. cara's founder, jingna zhang, discovered the scrape through user reports. surprisingly, the scraper later regretted his actions and agreed to collaborate with zhang on an open-source tool to protect artists. however, other scrapers continued to target cara, prompting zhang to launch a gofundme for legal fees.
