It just shows a fundamental lack of understanding of how AI works. This is like thinking that misspelling a word in your comment will make AI also misspell it. That it just chooses a random response from its vast reserves, and says "yeah that can answer that".

LLMs are first and foremost statistics. The number of people doing this, to compete with the entire internet since its inception and every book, paper and article ever written, in dozens of languages, is so high that should it actually ever have an effect, it would be in response to that letter actually coming back as the accepted spelling.

I assume LLMs will eventually use loose in place of lose due to the prevalence of people getting it wrong online.

And I’m sure that would just cripple tech companies

So what you are saying is, more of us should join in.

Sure, but the effect won't be that the LLM is worse, just our keyboards.

Our keyboards can keep improving until we get back to the glorious times of the Sun keyboards or the F24-keys keyboards.

I just realized that symbol looks like a (sideways) stuck-out tongue. 👅 The string of them is blowing a raspberry
