The web’s newest weapon against AI scrapers is a font!

AI companies’ penchant for scraping through large swaths of the public 
web in search of valuable training data has already led to lawsuits and 
technical fixes aimed at stopping the practice.

Now, a pair of designers is hoping to stymie these scrapers with a new 
font designed to offer people a perfectly readable webpage while serving 
scrapers a subtly edited, nonsensical version in the underlying HTML.

“ShieldFont” aims to poison AI training data without making pages 
unreadable for people. - Kyle Orland
