I am with you when it comes to texts for humans.

However, for speed, I have recently abandoned capitalization and punctuation when interacting with LLMs, unless they are critical for clarity. I wonder if this is why many folks in the AI crowd write everything in lowercase.



I was under the impression that LLMs do tokenize upper and lower case differently so prompting all in lowercase would yield different results. Is this incorrect?
