Why it worked

The video leverages a novel and intriguing AI trick (the Decoy Font) that plays on human perception versus AI interpretation, creating curiosity and shareability.

Summary

The video demonstrates a 'Decoy Font' that displays text differently to humans and AI. While humans can squint to read a hidden message, AI like ChatGPT can interpret both the visible and hidden text, as shown with examples like 'Sorry/Happy' and 'Sleep Early/Binge Shows'.

Structure

1Introduce Decoy Font concept
2Show human interpretation (squinting)
3Show AI interpretation (ChatGPT)
4Demonstrate with examples
5Conclude on AI's ability to see both messages

Product placement

Decoy Font (ACTS - it is a font that displays text in a way that humans and AI interpret differently. Removing it would change the video's subject.) ChatGPT (ACTS - it is used to interpret text displayed in the Decoy Font, and its output is shown. Removing it would change the video's subject.)

On-screen text

Original caption

A decoy font can hide one message inside another. Humans squint at the image and usually pick out the intended secret text. Give the same image to ChatGPT and it may read both layers. In one example, people see "SLEEP EARLY" while the model can also identify the decoy text around it. That makes this a fun visual trick, but a poor way to pass anything you genuinely need to keep secret. #learnai #ainews #aitools #chatgpt #typography

Transcript

We now have a way to pass secret messages without AI noticing. It's something called a decoy font. Tell me what you can read above. So if you are a human, you can look at that above, you can squint your eyes, and you'll be able to see the secret message. On top we have sorry, and then underneath we have happy. Here's another example. You can probably see sleep early or binge shows. And when we ask ChatGPT, what does it say? It says binge shows. Here's the really cool part though. I can tell ChatGPT to squint. Squint your eyes ChatGPT. Sleep early. Sleep early. It can see both messages.
