Decoy Font obscures text from AI by embedding decoy letters

By PulseAugur Editorial · [4 sources] ·

A new TrueType Font called Decoy Font has been developed to obscure text from AI systems. This font works by embedding a "decoy" letter alongside the intended character, making it difficult for AI to accurately read the displayed message. While not a perfect solution, Decoy Font aims to deter AI scraping and casual observation of sensitive information. AI

IMPACT This font could offer a novel, albeit limited, method for users to obscure text from automated AI analysis.

RANK_REASON A new font designed to deter AI scraping is a niche tool release.
