Mist - An image preprocessing tool to protect artworks from AI-for-Art based mimicryhttps://mist-project.github.io/index_en.html
Mist is a powerful image preprocessing tool developed to protect images from being mimicked by AI-for-Art applications. It adds watermarks to images, making them unrecognizable and inimitable by state-of-the-art AI models. Mist has been open-sourced on GitHub and aims to create a collaborative community for developers and users to improve its performance. The advantages of Mist include robustness against noise purification methods and time efficiency, with the watermarking process taking only a few minutes. The tool is effective against various AI-for-Art applications such as textual inversion, dreambooth, scenario.gg, and NovelAI image2image. Mist is also robust to image transformations like cropping and resizing. The watermarking process is fast, with an image being processed within 3 minutes using default parameters.
