The theory is that it isn’t present in the corpus of training data, so AI won’t use it. Maybe sort of kind of true, but probably more performance art than actual proposal.

In the unlikely event there was uptake, websites would regex emdashes into amdashes to appear human, AI would train on that, and we’d be looking for a different secret signal.

I believe it's because the actual text behind the font would say "Here's a statementam-and here's a diversionam-and back to the original statement."

Problem is, it's only useful if you're using those specific fonts. Now I've gotta teach my grandpa how to install a font and switch to using it on every single device and application.

I think it's because it's a font ligature rather than a code pointam-it wouldn't be readable to an AI.

This is not a technical solution to AI slop. It's an artistic expression of frustration with AI slop. The fact that it isn't a solution can be read as part of the artistic objection that there doesn't seem to be a solution to the problem.

It's a joke?...
