Honest question: Does a shocking percentage of the population not use capitalization and punctuation anymore? Do people type like that in every situation now? It seems like every time I see a screenshot of someone’s session it’s full of “u fix yet” or “why didnt you fix it” prompts. I thought I was only seeing posts from those people because those people are the ones that get their repo wiped by AI, but at this point it seems I’m the last of a dying breed or something. I even saw an OpenAI model launch that used ‘drunk text message’ formatting in the examples. Edit: someone downvoted this comment, which I can only guess is because they’re used to people that use “honest question” as a prefix for a rhetorical or insulting statement dressed up like a question. That’s not what I’m doing. I don’t have the capacity to care how other people interact with their tools, it doesn’t affect me at all. I’m truly asking because I see it a lot lately, but not in my circle, so perhaps I’m a generation removed from it. My theory is that I learned to type on a keyboard, where autocorrect and capitalization was performed manually, but later generations learned primarily on a phone that handled all that for them. Perhaps switching to a keyboard to use Claude didn’t naturally engage the need to capitalize letters and such. | ||
