I came across tools like nightshade that can poison images. That way, if someone steals an artist’s work to train their AI, it learns the wrong stuff and can potentially begin spewing gibberish.

Is there something that I can use on PDFs? There are two scenarios for me:

  1. Content that I already created that is available as a pdf.
  2. I use LaTeX to make new documents and I want to poison those from scratch if possible rather than an ad hoc step once the PDF is created.

    I’m sorry, but “transparent text”? Is this done in LaTeX?

      What, you can’t set the alpha channel on your text in a pdf?

        I think I didn’t explain myself clearly, sorry. I meant that in LaTeX, I can make my text transparent /white and have them overlap for a couple of paragraphs by adjusting text boxes. I’m not sure if how scalable this solution is for me.

          There are other ways of making pdf files, so it all depends on what you want.
