    My broader point (in your metaphor) is that calligraphy tests are irrelevant at this point. The world changed. Theres not going back.

      A calligraphy test is not irrelevant if you are studying to LEARN calligraphy. If you are arguing that calligraphy as a subject doesnt need to exist then fine then don’t study it. But you don’t learn it by asking AI to do it for you.

        🤔 I dispute that typewriters are irrelevant. Famous writers still use them today, and they are a perfect means for helping some disabled people type out essays on the spot to test their comprehension of a subject. It gets around handwriting issues without allowing electronics that could be used for cheating into an exam space.
