I dislike this new trend of trying to make your site's text look like LLM output. It's incredibly annoying to read at a fixed slow pace.

I think in this case it's because the book is about typewriters and it has nothing to do with LLMs.

I agree it's annoying but I think this particular site has some aesthetic reason to do this.

Especially since I have @prefers-reduce-motion set.

I'm curious if the average developer would consider text appearing with no actual motion (no scale, pan, translate, fade, no tween whatsoever) a candidate to disable for @prefers-reduce-motion

tbf it predated LLM output by a fair margin. But mostly agree, my firefox on a decently powerful laptop was jerky enough I turned it off.

Yes, I was recently playing some retro games from the 8-bit era and lots of them did it with clicking noises that I assume were meant to simulate a teletype.
