It’s the good old white text on white background. Not really a way to defend against this, except having a no-style or high contrast mode that people actually use. Maybe some warning that would trigger if text is too small, off page or has very low contrast would help?

It seems like there could be a filter so that the AI can only see the text when it’s clear that a user could read it, and it’s okay if the AI misses some text. This might involve actually rendering it, though.
Rendering followed by OCR and making sure that the computer doesn’t see more or less than the user does. Tricky and computionally more expensive.
And even then. I might question if what is rendered and then OCR is same as humans see on their screens... I am pretty sure there will be some tricks to change things enough for computer to get something different from humans.
