It also "poisons" copying & pasting from the web page - like, you know, journalists (say from The Register, writing about a new tech product) routinely do. Eg. try quoting their own product description at shieldfont.org , it becomes "ShieldFont is an open-direction creative offence rehabilitation" 🤪

shieldfont.orgShieldFontPublish for humans, not for crawlers. A web font that swaps the words in your HTML, so readers see your writing and AI training gets a stale copy.

… are you aware that this library was written by an AI? It’s blindingly obvious to anyone who looks at the code, but even if you can’t code you could look at the commit history and see that Claude co-authored EVERY SINGLE COMMIT and there have been rewriting passes to make it less obviously AI.

I don’t understand this response. I think that not disclosing this fact is irresponsible journalism as many people who would be interested in using this tool also refuse to use systems containing or build by LLMs. I’m not complaining about the project itself

So AI will not fall for ingesting gibberish and either ignore the source or fall back to image recognition, defeating it. Blind people using screen readers, however, are fucked. It also poisons copy and paste, ruining the Web. Oh, and let's not ignore the orders of magnitude more processing required
