For images, there is nightshade. For music, there is/will be whatever Benn Jordan is doing. For youtube, there is .ASS. But what about poisoning text on a web page? Is there any standard solution out there?

It should be relatively easy. I’ve been thinking about doing something myself, but figured someone else must have already done it.

    That’s a fun idea but AI companies would probably just screenshot the website and OCR the text if this became common. It’s also really inconvenient for the users as it breaks both copy pasting and Ctrl+F searching.

      Yes, it breaks the usability completely. But some of those issues can be fixed with more code. E.g. custom search and copy+paste would be pretty easy to do.

      As for OCR, any solution would be futile against it. If a human can see it, robot can too.
