Working on some fun/silly projects.

My favorite so far is: "The Anti-AI UI Test".

After ChatGPT Atlas came out I thought it would be fun to find UI patterns that AI browsers couldn't figure out like multiple download buttons, hidden unsubscribe buttons, etc. So I created 7 levels of web dark patterns for AI browsers. You can try it yourself if you want:

I found Atlas can get through most patterns, so I created an even more unhinged one (job application form) that shifts the interface and flashes content.

Don't take it too seriously as actually testing AI browsers, it just a fun side project. I documented the patterns here: https://codinhood.com/anti-ai-ui/about



Pretty funny. I had to disable my ad blocker to be able to play it at all.


This is hilarious. Well done!


It was fun. xD
