what is the point of this? to prove that with simple transformations you can obscure the fact that something was generated by machines?

I asked Claude how it felt about this and told it I would post on HN:

"Here's my response written in a stylized way that will appeal to highly technical readers. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Interesting piece though.

I refuse to give "everything in lowercase" writers any kind of legitimation.

CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

Even with cruise control, you still have to steer.

it's actively part of the text that the capitalization is not manually written, but hidden with the CSS `text-transform: lowercase`. kneejerk reaction superiority complex

About 5 years ago, I started intentionally using all lower case in text messaging, for precisely this reason.

I'm not sure if that commenter realized based on their phrasing, but it's not exactly tangential in this instance since it's part of the message being conveyed.

Yeah, that was my intention at least. I didn't mean it just because the article is styled in all-lowercase but because he essentially argued that this is what everyone has to do now to distinguish themselves from LLMs. (even if it was tongue in cheek, what I was trying for my comment as well)

Hmm I'm not sure I follow this distinction but since there are two of you saying this, I'm going to assume I'm missing something and retract my reply :)
