The ai art is atrocious - the styles are all over the place (flat cell shaded vs ghiblified vs hyperdetailed with too much text), repetition ad nauseam, varying color schemes and shapes around the same subjects (is the scaly monster pink? G

This is an article from 2024, when open weights models like llama were only beginning to emerge. With those you basically cannot reliably do any detection (as the authors admit by the end). Which is really boiling down to text having statis

3d shape classification is different from matching a set of well-known, mostly fixed patterns (like eurion constellation) necessary to detect currency. With 3d shapes of non-governmental origin this is at best difficult and at worst intract

I'm sorry, but the "it's not X it's Y" is making me flinch. But otherwise I agree - its a denial of service toolkit, hard to imagine a more effective way to sabotage an engineering effort even if you tried. One can

Have yet to read the whole thing, but skimming the outline and dipping my toes here and there made me believe this is indeed a valuable piece of knowledge - not some absurd "how to survive zombie apocalypse" but more like "ho
