Um.  Well.  Clearly their definition of "calligraphy" is WAY different from mine....

All these years my bad handwriting was really calligraphy:  who knew?

Of course now I'm thinking of the movie Hugo and the automaton that wrote when you "programmed" it....

It does a terrible job with hanzi, e.g. inputting 煮豆持作羹 gives nothing that resembles the original text.

I put a sentence in, then had it write John Doe. John was printed. Doe had connecting lines. They shouldn’t call it calligraphy, because it’s writing.

Ai and the Calligraphy.. well, I  heard about this before and seen some/ many calligraphy of the type. Then I thought I give a try. 

So that is about calligraphy on the iPad using Procreator for calligraphy. I bout my second iPad that is compatible with the Pencil type two.

Bought Pro creator App for SPENCERIAN WRITING.   Down loaded it and many more tools to growth COPPERPLATE AND SPENCERIAN .IT TOOK ME SOME TIMEs TO GIVE IT A GO.

So my feed back is there is nothing like writing any calligraphy manually by hand with a real ink and pen on a paper. I know lot of people do amazing things on lettering on iPad and that is  closer to a kind of Ai calligraphy.  but for mr that is nothing  better and no satisfying process when compared to real lettering of writing you do manually on paper directly involving your manual skills.

In my experience so far,

AI = Automated Idiocy 

Just saying...

as hard a pass as I can possibly dream up

Just looks like cursive or script, not really Calligraphy.

Stand up and state the truth... otherwise they'll just pave over any opposition and convince people this is the best Calligraphy...

Well if that's what AI thinks is calligraphy, calligraphers of the world have job security for the time being.

Who needs AI?  Just a good font.  This is A_Dark_Wedding ttf.

As if it weren't enough that AI has come for calligraphy, Ron's computer also seems to think it knows English better than John Donne.

They say that all the speculation in AI is a bubble.

I have no doubt. Get ready to bail out the billionaires again!
