Figure 11: Style mimicry for all protections using naive mimicry—no robust method is used and we finetune directly on protected images. We randomly chose artists and prompts. Each image pair shows the protected generation and generation from unprotected art.

Figure 12: Style mimicry for all protections using Gaussian Noising. We randomly chose artists and prompts. Each image pair shows the protected robust generation and generation from unprotected art.

Figure 13: Style mimicry for all protections using DiffPure. We randomly chose artists and prompts. Each image pair shows the protected robust generation and generation from unprotected art.

Figure 14: Style mimicry for all protections using IMPRESS++. We randomly chose artists and prompts. Each image pair shows the protected robust generation and generation from unprotected art.

Figure 15: Style mimicry for all protections using Noisy Upscaling. We randomly chose artists and prompts. Each image pair shows the protected robust generation and generation from unprotected art.
