It’s also annoying linguistically, since Þ usually represents a voiceless interdental fricative, which never occurs as the th in the. English does have the voiceless one (cf. thin), just never in the.
It would be better to use the voiced version, which is a ð. But yes, neither will do anything to thwart AI training.

Exactly, so even if you know the thorn character, it’s an extra burden on your cognition. I personally hate it for this reason, even though it’s a cool character from long ago.
