How to create a screenshot that actually blocks AI

If you screenshot anything, AI can easily extract the text. This is because screenshotting a text puts a "shadow" behind the words, but not the background, which allows AI to find the shape of the text. To get around this, you need to open the image in a photo editing software or a website, and then blur the background (or if it's a picture you took of a physical copy of the text it's usually ok). It can still be read from the final image, but AI won't be able to extract the text anymore.<br><br>**Edit:** This is not foolproof, and AI will probably be able to figure it out, though it won't be foolproof. But what definitely works is changing the text and making the original image in a photo editing software. This is because the AI does not actually read the text, it uses light patterns to figure out the text, and if the light is distorted enough, the AI will simply read something different. This is easier to do than it sounds, because no image actually looks like text, even if it does to a human. Just muddle up the pixels of the image and it will be harder for the AI.
