- Ghost Font is an anti-AI font that uses motion, video, noise, and decoys to create messages readable by humans but not easily deciphered by AI models.
- It works by displaying letters through moving dots, making static screenshots ineffective; even advanced AI like Claude Fable and GPT Sol 5.6 Ultra struggle without specific prompts.
- The font includes a decoy message to trick AI agents, adding a layer of protection beyond simple motion-based obfuscation.
- This experiment builds on past efforts like the ZXX font from 2013, which modern AI can now easily read, highlighting the need for new anti-AI techniques.
- Potential applications include CAPTCHA systems to counter AI bots and benchmarking AI visual perception progress as video-native models emerge.
- The project is a local, privacy-focused tool with plans for open-source code release and expansion to handle longer text strings.
