yeah what's stupid about the reasoning about "it'll poison ai models" is that it doesn't even work
Because the font doesn't matter, computers don't read the shapes, except in the case of OCR, where the text is a raster image.
well it's not just a font. doing this does degrade performance, since rather than the words being common, individual tokens, each fancy cursed letter is processed as a really uncommon unique one. it will still answer correctly most of the time since in embeddings they are similar sentences, but it will probably answer worse (unless in thinking it rewrites your prompt correctly).
This is akin to spelling errors. Which AI can also cover for.
