Unless its indiscernible to you too, its able to be used. Its probably best to consider another approach entirely

This is the best summary I could come up with:

University of Chicago boffins this week released Nightshade 1.0, a tool built to punish unscrupulous makers of machine learning models who train their systems on data without getting permission first.

"Nightshade is computed as a multi-objective optimization that minimizes visible changes to the original image," said the team responsible for the project.

Nightshade was developed by University of Chicago doctoral students Shawn Shan, Wenxin Ding, and Josephine Passananti, and professors Heather Zheng and Ben Zhao, some of whom also helped with Glaze.

The failure to consider the wishes of artwork creators and owners led to a lawsuit filed last year, part of a broader pushback against the permissionless harvesting of data for the benefit of AI businesses.

Matthew Guzdial, assistant professor of computer science at University of Alberta, said in a social media post, "This is cool and timely work!
