Are homoglyphs at all useful for preventing data scraping? (lemmy.world)

I have been messing around with creating a homoglyph keyboard for Android, but I'm wondering if it's even worthwhile. Is there any benefit to masking your messages with homoglyphs? Primarily I think it could defend against an LLMs ability to easily scrape messages. In my experiments ChatGPT and DeepSeek both get confused by homoglyph messages unless you instruct it to determine the likely alphabet characters and numbers for each individual character.
