Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character?
gerryflap@feddit.nl 16 hours agoDo you think these massive companies will add even a single line of code for something and insignificant as this? Also that one string replace maymess with Icelandic text which actually uses it.
I think these 2 factors actually make it sort of useful. As long as not too many others do this exact thing, it makes the comments with the thorn in English enough of an anomaly to probably do more harm than good to the training of the LLM. And therefore the comments are not being used in any useful way for “AI” training.
There are some accessibility and readability concerns tho, and it’s also a bit of a weird thing to do. But it might just kinda work

If it is significant enough to have an effect, yes they will change the code.
