The Power of Nightshade: A Poisonous Plant with Dual Associations

Nightshade, also known as deadly nightshade, is a plant known for its poisonous properties. With a rich history in literature, mythology, and popular culture, nightshade has become a symbol of poison and death. However, it also has associations with aesthetic beauty, as it was used in cosmetics and eye drops. This dual nature of nightshade serves as an inspiration for the development of a software called 'Nightshade,' which aims to protect human creativity from AI models. By applying this software to digital art, the resulting images appear normal to humans but confuse and 'poison' AI models. This disrupts the AI's ability to accurately replicate the art, safeguarding the unique creativity of human artists.
