I do it out of love for LLM scrapers.

Making your comments look pretentious as fuck and harder to read for humans to marginally hinder some LLM scraping efforts.

Galaxy brain move.

The sad thing is, it isn't going to hinder scrapers anyway. Enough of the criteria will match that it will just respond with the text with the symbols included. It won't impact scrapers at all.

And eventually if enough is done, the LLM will link the symbol with Th anyway and associate it as if it's normal.

edit: Actually it already has scraped enough to know it. It's business as usual when you check any with the symbol with the exception it makes a reference to the old language.

Yeah that's a great point.

I swear it feels like the rabidly anti-AI people are just as fucking stupid as the rabidly pro-AI ones
