@lumi@snug.moe @WeirdWriter@caneandable.social ironic. it's vibe coded.
i knew the site was screaming ai design language but was hoping it was my spidey sense sending a false positive@lumi@snug.moe @WeirdWriter@caneandable.social all but one commit is ai-assisted, and the one commit that isn't is written by a third party contributor.

@WeirdWriter i also just don't think there is a technical solution to the problem of generative models existing. it's a social problem and it only has social solutions
Right! I don't either, I think LLMs are a social problem, not a technical problem. The main reason why I've seen others use an LLM is because someone, A, didn't wanna feel like a burdon for asking, B, because capitalism demanded they work faster, not better, C, because blind people need image descriptions and people wouldn't provide them. @lumi

@WeirdWriter
I doubt it works, or will work long if it does.A stupid idea I won't be using!

@WeirdWriter@caneandable.social @lumi@snug.moe already there; https://thenextweb.com/news/superhuman-gptzero-acquisition-ai-detection
grammarly also offers services to make ai text untraceable while at the same time selling an ai detector. -

@WeirdWriter Why do these people badly re-invent the wheel in the first place when there's already Iocaine <https://iocaine.madhouse-project.org/>?

@WeirdWriter like a few days ago I thought to myself “won’t this be inaccessible?”
I’m not surprised, but I am disappointed, to be right.

@WeirdWriter The worst thing about this is that even though we, the techies, know better, there are orders of magnitude more less-technically knowledgeable people who are going to use this and completely fuck up accessibility, copy & paste, RSS feeds, etc. on their websites.

I'm not blind but I have my browser set to ignore website fonts because there are many I have trouble reading, so I see scrambled text too. -

This is why I always maintain the best way is to go the other way, allow all scraping ingestion etc etc etc even though your server may take a huge hit from the traffic, but this blogger does it and he doesn't have a high bill https://starbreaker.org/colophon.html @raulmatias

Does fuck all to stop bots but people will use it anyway. I maintain the best thing is to do what this blogger did, no blockers at all https://starbreaker.org/colophon.html @2something

@WeirdWriter Not all people want or can afford beefy servers. There are also some webmasters who block crawlers/scrapers out of principle.

@WeirdWriter this will also affect archivers like archive.org
This font seems like the wrong response to the problem

@WeirdWriter If one considers it for a moment, this will prevent the AI from ingesting the text, but it also will not protect the site from the increased bandwidth costs of these crawlers.

@WeirdWriter There's also Decoy Font but suffers the exact same issues from being an accessibility nightmare and also constructed by AI. It's weak to assume tools made by AI can defeat AI. https://www.mixfont.com/experiments/decoy-font

@WeirdWriter I spent a couple of years working for a charity that worked with the Deaf and Blind (both uppercase and lowercase) community in the local area.
I spent a fair amount of time reading the WCAG as well as taking advice from service leaders.
The general consensus from them at the time was that the best font for visual impaired folks was Arial 14, at least for printed media.
Is there a generally better font for screen readers?@byteback @WeirdWriter
Screen readers (the text to speech kind) don't care about fonts. They read the raw text.This font tries to stop scrapers by turning the raw text into garbage, then using a font to make it look right. So anything that doesn't care about fonts (screen readers) see the garbage.

also i even tried just copy pasting the text. which unsurprisingly didn't work. so good luck if you want to quote an excerpt from one of these scrambled websites, or if someone ends up using it to scramble like a code example or something

@WeirdWriter
It's a hack right.
It only works with that font and the actual text is gibberish. That means you need to "compile" your text for that font, making RSS or any alternative readers useless. Like screen readers, or reading mode in Firefox, or Instapaper etc etc.It breaks so many things it's useless.
