It doesn’t selectively prevents learning, instead it hinders overall recognition even to the human eyes to some extent. The examples I know is old, but artists once tried to gauge model’s capability of i2i from sketches (there’s few instances people took artists’ wip and feed it to genAI to “claim the finished piece”). Watermaking, or constant tiling all over the image worked better to worsen genAI’s recognition than regular noise/dither type filter.
Watermarking with strong contrast prevents ai from using the images in training? Since when?
