    At least some of these are just for lack of caring. I vibe coded this landing page recently <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tui2web.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tui2web.com&#x2F; and fought off a lot of the defaults the LLM came up with after a few hours of iteration. Feel free to roast it, I&#x27;m not really attached, but I thought it did a reasonably good job.

      All caps text is a roadblock for reading speed&#x2F;comprehension. Accessibility experts were finally convincing major company design standards to stop doing it when LLMs made it a default again [0] for headers and incidental text.

      Not to mention that all caps text is also generally associated with shouting and just feels rude to some readers.

      [0] Or more accurately trained on all the bad examples before experts started catching them and has stuck to the mistake.
