It is not a single emoji, it's an instruction to interleave conversation with some nonsense. It can only do harm. It won't help produce a better result and is questionable at preventing a bad one.

The point is that the it _already_ treats the instructions as nonsense. The emoji is a sigil to know if it dismissing the instructions or not.
