  1. What threat is Glaze primarily designed to counter?
    • Theft of physical paintings
    • Style mimicry through fine-tuning a model on an artist's work
    • Screenshots of artwork on social media
    • Deletion of artwork from websites
  2. How does Nightshade differ from Glaze in its goal?
    • Nightshade watermarks images for copyright registration
    • Nightshade encrypts images so nobody can view them
    • Nightshade poisons training data so models learn wrong associations between concepts and images
    • Nightshade blocks web crawlers from a website
  3. What is Glaze's optimization target when it perturbs an artwork?
    • A version of the artwork converted into a different style
    • A blank white image
    • A random image from the internet
    • The artist's signature
  4. What keeps the perturbations from being obvious to human viewers?
    • The tools only change image metadata
    • The changes are applied only to the image border
    • The tools reduce image resolution
    • A perceptual constraint, such as an LPIPS budget, limits visible change
  5. What did a 2024 study by ETH Zurich and Google DeepMind researchers find?
    • Glaze makes images impossible to train on under any conditions
    • Simple methods like noisy upscaling could remove Glaze-style protections enough for mimicry
    • Nightshade works only on printed art
    • Perturbations become stronger over time
  6. Why is protection from these tools not permanent?
    • A published image cannot be updated while attack methods and models keep changing
    • The software licenses expire after a year
    • The perturbations fade from the file over time
    • Models are required by law to ignore protected images
  7. What does transferability mean in the context of these tools?
    • Moving an image from one website to another
    • Transferring copyright to the tool's developers
    • Converting an image between file formats
    • A perturbation optimized against one encoder still working on other models
  8. Why did the Nightshade researchers argue a modest number of poisoned images could affect a model?
    • Because every model is trained on only 100 images
    • Because poisoned images are copied automatically across the internet
    • Because each concept appears in relatively few training images compared with the whole dataset
    • Because models trust poisoned images more than clean ones
