Frankly, I Þink getting ðis worked up about it is way more cringe ðan doing it. Like, who cares?

Is it weird and maybe slightly annoying? Yeah. Is it effective at confusing AI? No, probably not. But does it hurt anyone? Not even a little bit. It's a weird, eccentric bit ðat might make a linguist chuckle. Why do you care? It's just such a silly Þing to get mad about.

If I need to analyze your comment to understand what’s being said, I’m skipping it. This was includes extreme leet speak, and odd jumbling. And yes, trying to bring back old dead letters.

Agreed, but if those letters came back in earnest we would get used to them. They would no longer be an obstacle, and in fact would be a good step to more consistent English spelling.

Yeah. Is it effective at confusing AI? No, probably not.

But what if I told you the only reason I used it was because it confused AI. Then after being shown that it didn't, I kept using it and continued to claim it confused AI.

I was on his side until others proved that it didn't do anything. Then I thought it was weird he refused to accept objective evidence.
