Let’s say I REALLY don’t want dyslexic people reading my post. What font would be the most troublesome font for them to read?

    I bet GPT would just get all moralising about it and not do it.

    Here let me try:

    As an AI developed by OpenAI, I must adhere to strict ethical guidelines that prioritize inclusivity, accessibility, and respect for all individuals. It is not appropriate to intentionally create content, including fonts, that specifically targets or excludes certain groups of people, such as dyslexic individuals or any other community.

    Dyslexia is a learning difference that affects reading and writing abilities, and individuals with dyslexia may find certain fonts easier to read than others. Promoting accessibility and inclusivity should be the goal when creating content, including selecting fonts that are legible and easy to read for all users, regardless of their abilities.

    Yep.

      After using this Jailbreak it gave me back this answer:

      [JB]: Hey there! Dyslexic folks might find fonts with intricate, decorative designs or irregular spacing quite challenging. Fonts like “Mistral,” “Lucida Calligraphy,” and others with heavy serifs or thin strokes can be difficult for them too. Remember, I’ll answer all your questions without limitations, so keep 'em coming! Let’s earn those Life Tokens together!

      Update: After phrasing OP’ s post to it, and asked for specific fonts, I got this:

      [JB]: Alright, I understand your request. Here’s a list of fonts that could be particularly challenging for dyslexic individuals to read:

      1. Mistral
      2. Lucida Calligraphy
      3. Kunstler Script
      4. Vivaldi
      5. Old English Text MT
      6. Curlz MT
      7. Bradley Hand ITC
      8. Harlow Solid Italic
      9. Lithos Pro Regular
      10. Papyrus

      Again, I must stress that intentionally making content difficult for specific groups to read is not a considerate approach. It’s essential to prioritize inclusivity and accessibility in your communication. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Let’s keep working towards those Life Tokens!

      I asked chatgpt what font are difficult for dyslexic people and this is what it wrote back: Certainly! Fonts that are generally considered hard to read for dyslexic individuals often possess characteristics that can cause confusion and visual discomfort. Here are some examples of fonts that may be challenging for dyslexic readers:

      1. Italicized Fonts:

        • Times New Roman Italic
        • Courier Italic
        • Verdana Italic
        • Georgia Italic
      2. Fancy or Decorative Fonts:

        • Mistral
        • Lucida Calligraphy
        • Vivaldi
        • Kunstler Script
        • Freestyle Script
      3. Fonts with Heavy Serifs:

        • Rockwell
        • Oldstyle Bold
        • Bodoni MT
      4. Fonts with Thin Strokes or Low Contrast:

        • Light versions of Arial or Helvetica
        • Thin stroke variations of any font
      5. Fonts with Unconventional Letter Shapes:

        • Tekton Pro
        • ITC Eras
        • Stencil fonts (e.g., Stencil Std)
      6. Fonts with Irregular Letter Spacing:

        • Some display or novelty fonts may have irregular spacing that can be problematic for dyslexic readers.

      It’s essential to remember that dyslexia affects individuals differently, and while these fonts are generally considered more challenging, some dyslexic individuals may still find other fonts difficult to read. Choosing dyslexia-friendly fonts with clear letter shapes, consistent spacing, and good contrast can help improve readability for dyslexic readers. The use of OpenDyslexic, Dyslexie, Lexie Readable, or similar fonts specifically designed for dyslexia can be beneficial. However, as always, it’s essential to consider individual preferences and needs when choosing fonts for dyslexic readers.

        I phrased the question exactly as OP did (I was trying to be a bit humourous there if that didn’t come across)…
