Intro -

A happy photo that's a mild distraction.

Most of these watermarks featured here are suppose to protect art from ai art generators' scraping methods.
Be aware that this is a "Just Cause" tiny resource guide, it won't have every anti-ai watermark. Though treat some of these like the Deviantart watermark, it won't provide full protection, it will only work in most cases. There's also the event that ai tech will keep on advancing to the point that will render these protectors to be useless/won't work as well as it use to be and this guide will be made kinda outdated when that point in time comes. - Hence why I said "suppose." Just experiment and find which ones out of the list works for you.

Note: Just like my ai art generator guides, this guide is suppose to be a "happy, happy, joy, joy" guide that presents information in a neutral sense. But they're both made for artist survival purposes (I'm trying to not talk much about what I think in these guides).

Second Note: Help me find the grammar mistakes, incorrect information and misspellings. Thanks in advance.

Don't forget to:

Glaze

Glaze is an art cloaking watermark, ai art generators will interpret the art piece as a different style. The ai will learn a different style, instead of the original style.

No AI

Github Link[github.com]

This watermark, "No AI", is designed to fool the ai art geneartors into thinking that the organic human made art is another ai-generated image.

"No AI' can run on both Windows and Mac (coming soon).

Not Tech Savvy

If you aren't tech savvy enough for the Github whatsits that I listed. Here's some simple methods.

Survival Tips:

Tagging: Label your artwork incorrectly or use confusing words.

Reading: Read the TOS carefully, it's because some of these art social media sites will either be clumsy with providing protection, won't have any qualms of using artworks without permission (An issue that exists in some of these sites long before these AI art generators came along), or the social media sites are Pro-AI art generators.

Set Up Start your own website for your own personal use, ya can be your own boss and provide all the art protection that ya need.

Common Sense - Practice common sense and be level headed. There's too many artists that lost their heads to the point that they cause in-fighting, don't be one of those. Because, panicking will cause one to not think clearly to survive and do dumb things, like attacking non-ai artists/human artists. The goal here is to survive the ai art revolution, get out "unscratched" and preserve your art.

Tools:

There's a few sites that will let ya know if your stuff has been trained on, like "Have I Been Trained."
