The Enshittifier Mac app began as a whimsical experiment: could font ligatures be cleverly manipulated to visually transform AI-generated text into something a bit more, well, 'enshittified'? The answer, surprisingly, was yes, and ironically, AI itself helped uncover the method. Following the Mac app, a Chrome extension was developed to handle web fonts, which sometimes present their own challenges. Ultimately, this tool is a lighthearted jab, designed to playfully poke fun at the pervasive nature of AI. It also serves as a subtle, visual reminder to be more mindful of the constant stream of AI-generated content we encounter daily, starting right there in your font files.
