I would like to add my thoughts. Displaying characters as written above would work well when using plugins that integrate artificial intelligence into Discourse, such as [Chatbot](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-chatbot-now-smarter-than-chatgpt/256652)(@merefield) and [Discourse AI](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-ai/259214)(@Falco). Those who have interacted with artificial intelligence tools will understand the need for such a function as controlling the number of characters when composing a request to artificial intelligence - each symbol costs money 😅
