Write bot-resistant code with KillSwitch, a programming language designed to confuse LLMs

If you want to keep bots from making sense of the code you worked so hard on and using it to write programs of their own, there's a new programming language out there designed to confuse LLMs. What began as software engineer Dominik Picheta experimenting with whether LLMs understand the code they write has turned into something else entirely: An open-source, albeit esoteric, programming language he’s dubbed KillSwitch. There are no brackets, no formatting standards to remember, and seemingly no structure: Just chunks of text, ideally as prosaic as possible, interspersed with functions, variables, and statements written in a manner to be as confusing as possible to LLMs. That means humans might be a bit befuddled too, naturally. “It's totally normal for a human to be confused by the language at first,” Picheta told The Register. …
