well it’s not just a font. doing this does degrade performance, since rather than the words being common, individual tokens, each fancy cursed letter is processed as a really uncommon unique one. it will still answer correctly most of the time since in embeddings they are similar sentences, but it will probably answer worse (unless in thinking it rewrites your prompt correctly).

yeah what’s stupid about the reasoning about “it’ll poison ai models” is that it doesn’t even work

Ok

used to be reddit atheist (extremely cringe). now im much more agnostic and acknowledge that it’s pretty impossible to be completely sure about these things.
