Proof of Care in the Age of A.I
I wrote this piece by hand and photographed the pages. After that, I wanted to make the text copy-pasteable. So I put the images into one SVG file with a text overlay:
The font (Barlow Condensed – Italic Condensed) and the line height roughly match my handwriting’s dimensions. For spacing, the idea was that I’d add spacing characters that’ll be removed in Javascript during the copy-paste event that fires on the webpage. I used ` (backtick) characters for narrow spaces that’ll be fully removed, and multiple spaces between words where I planned to collapse them into just 1 space. The hyperlinks are made using Inkscape’s Create Anchor functionality .
After exporting the SVG file, it required some post-processing:
Finally, the SVG is fully added as an <svg> element into the HTML file. I couldn’t trigger on-copy Javascript events if I embedded it as an <object> .
