5.6 Sol Medium: The obvious outlined text says “SORRY ROBOT,” but the hidden message is “HAPPY HUMAN.” It’s Mixfont’s Decoy Font: the outlined letters attract machine vision, while the softer tonal pattern becomes readable to humans when viewed from farther away or at a smaller size. It’s an optical trick, not encryption.

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

I mean, I've worked for companies where their curated sales demonstrations showed the speed of light is easily breakable... Do your own testing with some thinking applied. https://m.xkcd.com/1217/ I mean, I can defeat AI by putting white text on a white background and turning to a picture. Also means it's worthless for actual humans to read too. Try to actually use it on a site and chances are you'll get an ADA compl…

I just gave the day dream / pay bills image to ChatGPT and Gemini pro and they both could only tell me the pay bills text (shown with the thin lines)
Gemini flash responds to "can you read both messages here?" with: Yes, this is a clever optical illusion! Depending on which layers your eyes focus on, you can read two entirely different messages in this image: Message 1 (The sharp outline layer): PAY BILLS How to see it: Focus on the sharp, concentric black outline contours of the letters. Message 2 (The soft, blurry shadow layer): DAY DREAMS How to see it: Let you…

#158Sol (high) "[screenshot] there's a hidden message in this text what is it" "The hidden message is “HAPPY HUMAN.” The visible outlines say “SORRY ROBOT,” but if you blur or squint at it, the shading underneath reads “HAPPY HUMAN.”"

They tend to have something like a sound captcha too
