This is because Claude made them, and Claude doesn't have eyeballs.

Low effort looks like low effort, even if you have an AI helping.

Too late to edit to clarify:

I mean Claude literally does not have eyeballs, it cannot feel discomfort, it does not need to squint, it cannot be annoyed by low contrast, and it cannot desire something better, it will not seek to improve this unprompted as a human would to "scratch its own itch".

there's linting for contrast btw

For that to matter, the user has to bother setting it up, but the user is too lazy to do that, the user doesn't want to do anything at all, which is why they asked Claude to do it

I understand how this is true for like 99% of users, but there might be users of Claude who care too, right?

Of course, and if it were those users, we wouldn't have noticed

but it's the 99% that don't care who are responsible for the low contrast websites we're talking about

Those 99% are going to make it harder to find the good 1%, too

c'est la vie
