Mixfont creator develops anti-AI Decoy Font to mask text using optical illusion

It's so inexplicable to me that the anti-AI font was created by an AI company, of all things... Like, clearly if you make something like this, you understand that we're sick of AI nonsense. And yet!

Obviously, this would only work on images. Otherwise the AI can read the text without the font or the ocr metadata if in PDF format.

This doesn't really make sense to me. The way text is displayed is for the human reader, but the underlying text is computer (and AI) readable. You can use Wingdings to write your blog, and only the AI will know what you wrote. This seems like a play.

I'd love to know how well it works in practice.
