My good laugh for the day.

Expert is 29 and has 25 years of experience.

...in reading things

 

No problem there.

Someday, only geneaologists, trained to read undigitized official record books, church records, and the backs of old photos, will be able to decipher cursive handwriting. Meanwhile, I heard down at the barber shop that for people over age 60, cursive handwriting is positively correlated with hair loss (male and female) , all forms of cancer, one or more major battles and/or breaks with hierarchies (e.g., government, church, national retailer, MLB), the pursuit of one or more hobbies, red-green color-blindness, asymmetrical outer ears, asymmetrical faces, see-saw weight-gain and weight-loss, increasing concern for one's retirement income, and a lingering resentment over the loss of the nickel candy bar.

'Almost sure it is 'cursive'.....formally trained......= old and or went to Catholic school.

That or Babylonian.

The satire is amusing in this article. In 25 years, "experts" will try to distinguish human thoughts and AI thoughts. Perhaps the only distinguishing factor will be our handwriting.

Sadly, it is.

Too scary.

Was good for a laugh. But cursive isn't THAT hard to read. I doubt very many people will be able to WRITE in cursive in 25 years, but I'm betting more will at least be able to read it...

Considering that some kinds of cursive from the mid-1800s can be difficult to read without training, this may be the case even if everyone were still taught cursive in school. Styles change.

True: styles change. That some styles have gone the way of the woolly mammoth doesn't concern me. What concerns me is that all styles are going the way of the woolly mammoth. It's one thing for some people to be unable to read some styles of cursive. But we're on the cusp of a 180-degree turnabout.

A second killing was reported. The police think this is due to a copycat killer and not the original because it was written in a very professional form of writing called chicken-scratch, usually reserved for those in the medical field.
