Decoy Font by Mixfont Tricks AI Chatbots into Misreading Messages
Dezeen Agenda has unveiled the Decoy Font, a unique typeface crafted by Mixfont. This design aims to create optical illusions that confuse AI chatbots, thereby enhancing data privacy for users. The font incorporates two layers: a clear outer outline and an indistinct darker background, complicating AI reading. The latest edition also covers the commencement of the Rike Concert Hall's demolition in Tbilisi, Georgia, led by Studio Fuksas. Additionally, it notes a proposal from Donald Trump seeking to expand Eero Saarinen's terminal at Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C. Dezeen Agenda is released every Thursday.
