I am still figuring out what use case this might have. Why would you want to deceive an AI? Not to mention that, eventually, all AI systems will end up reading it.

#22This is just level of detail. Gemma E4B reads the sharper text until you resize down to 150x150, then it reads the other text.
As do I. The hero image clearly says "SORRY ROBOT" to me, which is the message supposedly intended for AI... kind of a fail.
It's only when I squint hard that I can see "HAPPY HUMAN".

Re: Decoy Font
#24Cool. Now do an accessible version.

Re: Decoy Font
#25What would be cool would be neon signs using this font, where the front tubes show the decoy message, but then there’s hidden rear tubes that shine light on the wall in a different color showing the actual message.
Something like the DAY DREAM/PAY BILLS would be pretty artistic!

#26Is it useful? No. Does it stop AI from reading it? Also no. But is it cool? Yes, it is very cool.
The demonstration shows that it does stop AI

#27I think this would be more interesting if the underlying letters were the fake letters as well. For usability it wouldn't be as good as you'd need an encoder, but it'd be cool because an AI with browser access couldn't read the contents either.
I was thinking this too. Then it might as well look like a normal font. But copy-paste and you get a garbled mess. Screen readers though.

Downsizing is effectively low pass filtering, so that's expected. Any scheme that transmits different messages in different frequency bands is going to be susceptible to a similar attack.

You’re doing it the wrong way around, try intentionally letting your eyes defocus.

It only works if you give it a screenshot, but it wouldn't work to block AI scrapers or fetch tools, and I think if printed out, it wouldn't work reliably if you took a photo, especially from afar
