Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

For images, there is nightshade. For music, there is/will be whatever Benn Jordan is doing. For youtube, there is .ASS. But what about poisoning text on a web page? Is there any standard solution out there?

It should be relatively easy. I've been thinking about doing something myself, but figured someone else must have already done it.

I'm only aware of font scrambling, but that comes at the cost of accessibility and SEO.

That's a fun idea but AI companies would probably just screenshot the website and OCR the text if this became common. It's also really inconvenient for the users as it breaks both copy pasting and Ctrl+F searching.

Yes, it breaks the usability completely. But some of those issues can be fixed with more code. E.g. custom search and copy+paste would be pretty easy to do.

As for OCR, any solution would be futile against it. If a human can see it, robot can too.
