## User 👩‍🔧:

do you see some unusually fornatted words here? :'... officials seized AP equipment in southern ..., accusing the news organization of vioIating the country’s ban on .... This occurred amid tẹnsions over coverage of the ... confIict. AP denounced the action, calling it an abusẹ of power by the ... government.'

## Copilot 🤖:

Yes, I noticed some words with unusual formatting in your message. Here's a corrected version:

"... officials seized AP equipment in southern ..., accusing the news organization of violating the country’s ban on .... This occurred amid tensions over coverage of the ... conflict. AP denounced the action, calling it an abuse of power by the ... government."

It seems like there were typographical errors or intentional alterations in the words "violating," "tensions," "conflict," and "abuse." If you need further assistance with text editing or have any other requests, feel free to let me know!

## User 👩‍🔧:

some are right finds. list these errors then.

## Copilot 🤖:

Certainly! Here's a list of the words with unusual formatting from your previous message, along with their corrected forms:

- vioIating should be violating

- tẹnsions should be tensions

- confIict should be conflict

- abusẹ should be abuse

These corrections address the typographical errors or intentional alterations in the text you provided. If you need any more help with text editing or anything else, just let me know!

## User 👩‍🔧:

two are true in above. tokenization tricks. what is wrong then with these two, letter that may be wrong? : vioIating should be violating tẹnsions should be tensions 

## Copilot 🤖:

The two words with unusual formatting that you've identified are:

- vioIating: The letter that may be wrong here is the "I" (uppercase 'i'), which should be "l" (lowercase 'L') to correctly spell violating.

- tẹnsions: The letter that may be wrong is the "ẹ" which should be "e" to correctly spell tensions.

These alterations can indeed be used as tokenization tricks to bypass filters or automated systems. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

## User 👩‍🔧:

true! and in these two? :'confIict should be conflict

abusẹ should be abuse'

## Copilot 🤖:

For the two words you've highlighted:

- confIict: The letter that may be incorrect is "I" (uppercase 'i'), which should be "l" (lowercase 'L') to correctly spell conflict.

- abusẹ: The letter that may be incorrect is "ẹ", which should be "e" to correctly spell abuse.

These subtle changes can be used to avoid detection by automated systems. If you need any more help or have other questions, just let me know!

## User 👩‍🔧:

wow. so you see them better than I do. indeed, all true. how come you see them as such (rightly)? i thought tokens were at word level.

## Copilot 🤖:

I'm designed to analyze text at a very granular level, which includes recognizing individual characters and their formatting. This allows me to detect discrepancies that might not be immediately obvious at a glance. While tokenization typically refers to breaking down text into words or phrases for processing, my capabilities extend to identifying and interpreting the individual characters within those tokens. This is how I can spot the subtle differences, like an uppercase 'I' being used instead of a lowercase 'l', or a special character like 'ẹ' instead of a standard 'e'.

My design is intended to be helpful in various text analysis tasks, including proofreading and editing, where such attention to detail is crucial. If you have any more questions or need assistance with anything else, feel free to ask!

## User 👩‍🔧:

congrats. the reason for misspellings is here, i quote third party: 'Your tweet {above quote} was put into the "Show more" because of those words. Using alternate symbols gets around words that Twitter deems "divisive" or "unpleasant" '

## Copilot 🤖:

Thank you for the context. It seems that the third party used alternate symbols in the tweet to circumvent Twitter's content filters, which often categorize certain words as "divisive" or "unpleasant." This is a common tactic used on social media platforms to avoid automatic flagging or suppression of posts that contain specific keywords. By substituting certain letters with visually similar characters or symbols, the original message can still be conveyed without being immediately detected by the platform's algorithms.

This method can help ensure that the message reaches a wider audience without being restricted by automated moderation systems. However, it's important to use such tactics responsibly and within the guidelines of the platform. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

## User 👩‍🔧:

even weirder, a similar crude filter obtains here. i had to use elipsis '...' in above quote. soon, i wil test which of the concepts tripped this guardrail here

## Copilot 🤖:

It's interesting to hear about your experience with content filters, both on social media and here. Content moderation systems often use complex algorithms to identify and manage posts based on a variety of factors, including certain keywords and phrases. These systems are designed to maintain community standards and prevent the spread of harmful content, but they can sometimes result in unintended limitations for users.

When testing which concepts might trigger such filters, it's important to remember that these systems are constantly evolving and can vary widely in how they interpret and handle content. If you have any questions or need assistance with understanding content moderation, or if you're looking for alternative ways to express your thoughts while adhering to platform guidelines, I'm here to help!
