According to Glaze developer Ben Zhao, the web version of WebGlaze has seen an enormous surge in access requests since Meta announced its plan to use user data for AI training.
Artists sometimes have to wait for weeks or even months to gain access, as the Glaze project manually reviews each application to ensure that applicants are real individuals and the tool is not being misused.
At the same time, security researchers have discovered methods to bypass Glaze's protection. Although Zhao and his team have made changes to increase the difficulty of the attack, this has still raised doubts about the effectiveness of Glaze, especially as the team that launched the attack criticized the changes as insufficient.
