Ugh just think if you had a screen reader how that would come out (even though its more full words that read entirely different).
Meanwhile the font will just be checked for and an immediate discard for training. So no poisoning, and for such a small portion that it wouldn't impact ingest in the slightest.
Meanwhile they ignore the actual damn problem.
Yeah, the font stuff seems ridiculously useless to me. I play around with LLMs sometimes, and everything I've thrown at it, it manages to get. Like I can't intentionally do it, but sometimes my hand will be shifted on my keyboard and it'll type gibberish - but the LLM can figure it out without being told what happened.
I've also just intentionally left typos, typing as fast as I can - well tha tI can somulate and isometinhg lke this whre half dinish tohuhgts and lots of ypos abound - it has NO trouble with that. (half-finished thoughts you probably won't get without me saying - LLM understands)
It's probably a losing battle, at least fought with what's being proposed here with the font stuff. heh.
