AI Shield helps protect your content from being used to train AI models, by inserting whitespace that's invisible to humans, but awkward for AIs.<\/p>\n\n

This is not fool-proof, but will add a roadblock to ML use of the data.<\/p>\n\n

It inserts whitespace characters that are effectively invisible to humans in the middle of words, while also replacing visible whitespace with non-standard, but valid, whitespace characters.<\/p>\n\n

This somewhat blurs the boundary of what's a word or not, and should work until AI companies add a clean-up process to compensate for it. But until that's added, it may prevent your content from being trivially used.<\/p>\n\n

In the end, preventing your content from being used without consent or payment requires a social and\/or legal solution, not a technological one. But until then, give this a try!<\/p>\n\n\n

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Click on Plugins > Add New Plugin, and then click on the \"Upload Plugin\" button. Choose the .zip file to upload it.<\/li>\n
  2. Once installed, Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' area in WordPress Admin.<\/li>\n
  3. That's all you have to do! AI Shield will start protecting your content.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    By default, AI Shield will cache obfuscated content for 5 minutes, but you can change the duration, or disable cache entirely (not recommended), from the Settings page.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n

    How do I know it's working if it's invisible?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Try copying-and-pasting some post body content into https:\/\/invisible-characters.com\/view.html, and click on the \"View!\" button. It will show you all the invisible characters. Anything that begins with \"U+\", but isn't \"U+0020\" is nonstandard whitespace. Note that some of it appears inside<\/em> words.<\/p>\n\n

    There's also a handy link to invisible-characters.com if you look at AI Shield on the Plugins page.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What content does it protect?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    For now, the body content, previews, and titles, but not things like images. If you want those to be obscured too, let me know.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
