Anti-AI fonts are useless and harmful
blog.yaros.ae/anti-ai-fonts-are-useless-and-harmful/TLDR; It fucks up accessibility for blind people (amongst others).
Its also pretty futile imo. AI is reading billions of words from books and posts. A handful of users obfuscating their posts is not going to do anything.
I figured it would fuck up accessibility but I strongly disagree with your second point. Obviously any measure against (or for) anything is useless if only a few people do it, that’s not an argument against adoption but for finding better ways to promote it.

I guess my point is for the problems it causes its probably not worth doing, balancing the two?
Making websites that no one needs to visit but poison or trap AI scrappers would likely be a better way to fight back.
