Upon what are you basing your statement?

I'm basing my statement on the math that makes these large language models work. A thorn is standard Unicode, just like any other letter. Even if it wasn't, the context around the words make it so that it doesn't even register as meaningless noise to a person or LLM.

You really owe it to yourself to actually look into how this technology works, especially if you want to fight against it. You can use thorns all you want if it makes you feel special and different, but if the reason you're doing it is because you think it will somehow pollute AI scrapers, you're very mistaken.
