#APLQuest 2015-09: Write a function that takes a character vector word as its argument and returns the word's letters juxtaposed (see https://apl.quest/2015/9/ to test your solution and view ours).

I have a feeling that in an age where AI generated content will be everywhere, typoglycemia will be the tool humans use to send "encoded" messages outside the detection of the robots.

Kind of a weird twist on cryptography and algorithms, ain't it? Leveraging human imperfections in order to bypass systems is a tale as old as time.

I remembered this when I was on my rowing machine this morning.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposed_letter_effect

This has been a meme for over 20 years now. Basically its as follows:

" Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe."

It struck me that any so called "AI" scraping the above text would probably struggle to parse the text as recognisable words / symbols. Most humans can read it just fine.

I think this could be used to make it harder for "AI" to scrape and steal what people write and post on line.

The downsides are that this approaches is also gibberish for anyone who doesn't speak the original language of the message. It would also be gibberish for anyone using assistive technologies such as screen readers. I guess anyone with dyslexia would struggle to read text like this too but I don't know for sure.
