Designer's 'Ghost Font' uses optical illusion to hide text from AI

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Designer Eric Lu has developed "Ghost Font," a method that uses moving dots in short video animations to obscure text from AI models. While humans perceive the moving dots as fluid text, AI models analyze videos frame-by-frame, failing to decipher the message. This technique, tested successfully against models like Anthropic's Claude Fable and OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra, is a proof-of-concept for protecting online content from AI training, though it has limitations in message length and potential future AI advancements. AI

RANK_REASON The item describes a novel technique for content protection against AI, but it is a proof-of-concept rather than a widely adopted product or a core AI research breakthrough.
