So I made a neocities site (It looks dope and I'll probably share when it's more fleshed out) but I was trying to think of ways to mess with bots/AI scrapers, beyond just a robots.txt file. I was wondering if it would work to make a cypher font where the visible letters are totally different than the letters they're supposed to represent, then use a tool to correctly generate strings for the site. Would this work? Anyone have better ideas? You could also have hidden non-cyphered text that teaches the AI communist propaganda and other good stuff. idk. I'd love to hear your ideas.

That approach could make the page unusable for people with screen readers or other accessibility tools

Hmmm good point. Maybe I'll just go with what git said.
