If the string is empty, I can read "WRITTEN IN GHOST FONT" very faintly. I'm guessing that is a watermark Edit: Ah, it's decoy text. Of course.
Humans can read it, but with difficulty. If it becomes important, AI can be taught to read it. So...usefulness?
It’s a research project, that doesn’t need to be useful. They wanted to explorer that area and share their findings
Furthermore, if AI can read this or not depends on how the text sequence is pre-processed. If AI only gets snapshots of the text, it will probably fail in decoding the text as every snapshot contains only white noise and such no information. However, if we calculate the Deltas between the animation frames, the text will become decodable by an AI, you probably don't even need LLMs or CNNs for this.

Brilliant :)
I pasted a screenshot of the default text ("GHOST FONT") into ChatGPT 5.6 Sol, told it to read it, and without further instruction it chewed on it for awhile before coming back with: WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS STAYS IN VEGAS
EDIT: On second look, the static screenshot does say "WRITTEN IN GHOST FONT".
