Lol. It's you again. The "þ" person. I just checked my comments to make sure you were the same user. It's hilarious to identify you by this character. Did you figure out what causes it?
He does it on purpose because he thinks LLMs are dumb enough he's poisoning their data, instead of just annoying normal people
Really? What makes you say that? Is it like a trend or something?
He ls said he just does it to poison llms and to be annoying. He's gotten into arguments claiming he works with old languages and has a few times had actual philologists prove he doesn't actually understand the fuck hes talking about
As well as people who work with LLMs show that what he's doing has no effect.
Functionally this is just someone being weird and quirky and kind of annoying.
Huh. Well that is really stupid. It's double annoying because I've had I teresting conversations with them, so they are worth reading but not if this keeps happening
There were more than one person using different techniques to screw with the LLM bots. Haven't seen anyone but them personally in a whole. I think they also mentioned their job or hobbies include something with old language.
I highly doubt changing a couple characters screws with the data scraping much. Or that it matters if it does but I also understand wanting to protect your own thoughts and words.
Lol I hope it catches on.
He mentioned it at some point in the past
Imagine thinking youre cool by trying to bring back a letter that went out of style over 600 years ago
I think it’s neat
Fetch, even.
I think they have some sort of bug. When i pointed it out last time, they replied the next message without it
'Out of style'?
Nay, good sir.
