And this is why I come up with stupid concepts like this, coding without numbers, just to fuck up artificial intelligence...

To be honest, I don't think that changes anything. Once you got the relation Z = 0, O = 1, etc., or whatever symbol you represent "1", "2", etc., you just have to do algebra.

Also, how is AI gonna interpret such code without running it first?

Its kinda easy for human eyes to see what I did, but how is AI gonna comprehend what letter equals what number?

It doesn't comprehend anything. That's the damn point.

Though it WILL "understand" what you did by the algorithms that break down code turning the variable into another token. So all you're really doing is costing yourself more time and money in the slop machine.

I don't participate in the slop machine yo. I'm just a regular human goober, just goofing off. I dunno how effective or not it might be, but feel free to do whatever you want, or don't want, with my code.

Here's an update...

Exactly. But it totally throws off AI..

I've got a more extended version I'm still casually working on when I get bored, which includes ELRUIYDAMB

Care to guess what those letters mean numerically?

I'll drop a clue, B=Billion
