unless someone went to the trouble of making a font that looks exactly like AI generated text.

Can I just say that's a hilariously evil idea to fuck with people and if I knew more about font formats I'd be tempted to give it a go.

Because, as I said, if they instead tax 98% of their wealth then all the billionaires will move there and they'll get 98% of a lot more while everyone else gets 99% of nothing. Until a country works out they could get 97% of all that wealth to themselves and so on and so forth until you get down to the sort of tax levels we actually see. It's just basic game theory in the end.
