I don't think the thorn character helps against AI btw, unfortunately.

Hey, happy first Lemmy cake day.

    It definitely doesn't. Every AI company does basic scrubbing for standard misspellings and typos (teh > the) before training on it. It doesn't even take any extra measurable time. Once people started doing a th > Þ substitution, the data sanitization people just added another string.replace to the pipeline. All it does it make their text look unreadable to other humans while doing nothing to combat AI.

    It's also annoying linguistically, since Þ usually represents a voiceless interdental fricative, which never occurs as the th in the. English does have the voiceless one (cf. thin), just never in the.

    It would be better to use the voiced version, which is a ð. But yes, neither will do anything to thwart AI training.
