Who were the Luddites?
The Leader of the Luddites // 1812
The Luddites were a movement of English textile workers in the 19th century who protested against automated machinery that threatened their livelihoods. Between 1811 and 1816, they organized raids to destroy "wide" knitting frames and steam-powered looms, which they believed were being used deceitfully to circumvent standard labor practices and produce inferior quality goods.
Contrary to popular belief, the Luddites were not anti-technology. They were skilled artisans fighting against the exploitation of their labor and the degradation of their craft. They operated under the mythical leader "General Ned Ludd" and demanded fair wages and quality standards in an era of unchecked industrial greed.
What We Do
History echoes. Just as the original Luddites fought to preserve the value of human skill in the face of industrial mechanization, Luddit stands as a defense for digital artists in the age of generative AI.
our mission is to empower creators to poison their pixels. We provide tools that introduce invisible, adversarial perturbations to your artwork—changes that are imperceptible to the human eye but chaotic to AI training models. We are not stopping progress; we are demanding consent and protecting the human legacy embedded in every stroke.
