If this gets any adoption, it will work for about a week, after which scrapers will just detect the font, and do a reverse lookup of its mapping table.
Ironic that the repo of the font is also AI slop. If the author had asked any competent person how viable the solution is, instead of a sycophantic AI, they would have just gotten a laugh instead.
Thinking more about it, even if the mapping would be generated dynamically (let's say you could generate them secretly on your server), the scraper could just parse the font file and reverse lookup the words.
And if you ask an AI to be critical, it'll also tell you why this is useless lol.
My thoughts exactly. And so the arms race continues.
Nah. Gregg Shorthand Anniversary Edition is practically indecipherable to AI.
It uses human intuition heavily.
