Until the models are constructed to account for the kind of noise that Nightshade throws, and work to countermand it. It's the same cat-and-mouse game that malware makers play with antivirus makers. Or youtuber and ad blockers. This will only make plagiarist AI stronger, sad to say.

Exactly. Like, how hard would it be to reverse engineer the poison and create a reversal tool that applies the exact opposite modifications. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it could be defeated by something as simple as a little image compression or noise.
