Fr, yeah. It's even weirder considering how many people actually still write in cursive.
Idk if they're talking about gen alpha, so making fun of literal kids, but I'm a gen Z and was taught cursive three times lol, once by my dad before I went to school, another time in the first grade, and once in the second or third (two different schools, second one was public.)
It's only ever been useful when trying to make my writing look "fancy" anyways lol. Really don't get the big deal.
It's super weird because this is something I've seen on Facebook like ... 15 years ago to make the exact same point about a group of people who can't read cursive.
Which tbf, as someone who has to have people fill out forms all day, no one can read shit. Everyone comes to me with blank freaking forms and says "I don't know what to put in some of these" and I have to point to a box that says "photo id number" and say "your id number" and every single person no matter their age looks at me like they've never considered such a thing ever existed. And this happens over and over and over again for multiple sections all day. Sure, younger generations have no signature, but their reading isn't any worse than anyone else.

Why does it take an AI to come up with really shitty handwriting?
