#122Extremely cool. I'm sure they'll eventually be trained to read it, but it's nice until then to trick AI. I'm mad at AI companies for stealing texts from the entire internet knowledge base and now privatizing those profits in some sense.

I think this illustrates that you can just do stuff without claiming it is useful. Like couldn't you just make this font and call it something like double-entendre or something?
This could more readily be seen as an art project.

#125Sol (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.”"
It’s absolutely incredible that the model can deduce what the human needs to do in order to more clearly see the text.

I once held the belief that any marketing material showed the exact opposite of reality, and this page does exactly that: It doesn't stop AI from reading it, but it sure stops me!

Doing something that's interesting or cool without claiming any pragmatic use is usually called art. This could more readily be seen as an art project.

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…
You’d have to use new images with different messages using that font to be sure Gemini isn’t “cheating” here

Probably that it just reports it can't find the second message or that one is not present but I wonder if it would flag it up and if that could be spammed?
(Not that I'm suggesting anyone do that you understand).
