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.

“it’s inevitable don’t fight it”.

Did you get that right from Altman?

Be effective.

Don’t be a moron wasting your time making your own life and others wise for nothing.

Dining a hole through the center of the earth to pop up in putins safe house and dome him is also a fucking god awful stupid idea. Doesn’t mean nobody is trying.

Jesus Christ dude 🤦‍♂️

The way to be effective is to fight.

GenAI needed to regulated years ago and I’m sorry but no amount of us asking nicely or fighting fair is going to stop technofascists from building their surveillance state.

In fact the past month has seen a huge uptick in stories about the “ineffectiveness” of fighting AI.

The timing of this while anti AI backlash is at an all time high tells me everything I need to know.

If the original comment offered solutions, different story.

There is no value in telling people to stop fighting.

“Thank god we fought for accessibility or those guys would have had a hell of time getting that wheelchair into the concentration camp.”

Fwiw I am NO stranger to accessibility as my father lost both of his legs. Do you know how often accessibility is just used to gain political favor? Or how often it is literally just horseshit for show?

Preserving our current fuckass levels of accessibility while making it even easier on GenAI companies just doesn’t feel right.

There is no value in telling people to stop fighting.

Let’s see what was written.

I don’t believe I saw “stop fighting” in those sentences.

I did see “this fucks things up for many people, and this has little to no impact on ai scraping.”

You have a very different interpretation of those sentences from me. I’d also point out the root of the issue has nothing to do with llm’s, and everything to do with capitalism.

Maybe try fighting the cause of the problem rather than the most recent means of exploitation?

This is the part implying that there is nothing worth doing:

A handful of users obfuscating their posts is not going to do anything.

no, that says this specific thing is not worth doing.

Have you heard of implication? Here are two definitions of “imply”, from https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/imply:
