With this "solution" it looks like the world of art enters the cat-and-mouse game the ad blockers were playing for the last decade or two.

I just tested it with Azure AI image classification and it worked - so this cat is yet to adapt to the mouse’s latest idea.
I still feel it is absolutely wrong to roam around the internet and scrape images (without consent) in order to power one’s cash cow AI. I hope more methods to protect artworks (including audio and other formats) become more accessible.
Artists copy from each other all the time. Arguably, culture exists because of copying (folk stories by necessity); copyright makes culture top-down and stagnant, and you can't avoid it because they have the money to shove it right in your face. Who wants trickle-down culture?
it's not an artist, it's a piece of software
in the same way bittorrent or gzip is

I might be missing something because I don't know much about the architecture of either Nightshade or AI art generators, but I wonder if you could try to have a GAN-like architecture (an extra model trying to trick the model) for the part of the generator that labels images to build resistance to Nightshade-like filters.
It doesn't even have to be a full GAN, you only need to train the discriminator side to filter out the data. Clean reference images + Nightshade would be the generator side.
