I don't think it's even "reverting". Glaze isn't generically anti-AI, Glaze tries to exploit flaws in one particular image AI implementation, by actually testing its reaction to a disturbance in the image. The approach only works if the model at all cares about the type of disturbance being created. Other models likely don't notice anything at all, there's nothing for them to revert. > It wouldn't stop an individual from collecting a small sample set, but it would discourage mass scraping. IMO, if they want to, they will do it. AI training already requires mass amounts of CPU/GPU power. They can also use it to solve your calculation challenge, and anyone training models will have enough horsepower available as to dwarf anything any reasonable client machine could deal with.
