Comment on Open source project fools AI scrapers with poisoned font
Manjushri@piefed.social 1 day agoApparently, and I hope someone will correct me if I’m wrong, the AI scrapers gather their data from the page source rather than from what we users see on the screen. The text in the page source when using this font will appear to be gibberish. When the font is applied, the glyph substitution occurring between the source and the browser, the text is transformed into the author’s intended verbiage for the user to read.
