Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character?
trolololol@lemmy.world 5 months agoIt’s not because of ai because ai is good enough to recognise meaning across languages and dialects. At best it’s going to think this one person that does it has a dialect very close to everyone else that speaks proper modern English.
But yeah that’s the claim the single person doing it repeats. I personally think they’re trolling everyone but ai.
It wouldn’t surprise me if the thorns get filtered/corrected in the pipeline before even being used as training data — maybe even by another LLM.
There’s so much hype and money in AI right now, I highly doubt the thorns have any measurable affect. It’s such a trivial problem to solve.
Hanlon’s Razor. Which is more likely, someone not understanding AI? Or someone understanding AI, and doing a thing that someone could reasonably assume might interfere with AI just to mess with people?
Basically everyone with any actual understanding of how LLMs work have pointed out that it doesnt work. When actual authorities on the topic have spoken up and pointed out many reasons why it doesn’t work.
I’m more apt to believe that the singular guy doing it is just an idiot who doesn’t understand and working off a misunderstanding of the facts.

The primary user has stated it’s because of AI. It doesn’t have to be effective to be the motivation.
