I thought that þ was soft and ð was hard. So why are people using the þ for ð when typing?

    I’m not sure but I think it’s to show the message is not AI written as AI would never use it (although now they might learn to use it)

      They can definitely use it, it’s not like it’s even something you need an LLM for. You can have an AI do whatever and then just supplement a query that searches for “th” and replaces it with thorn.

      I thought it was to reduce utility in training from it. Whether that works or not I do not know.
