"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I only had to handwrite for a 1st year class that was big enough to be a lecture. I think the exam probably required less than ~8 paragraphs total but that was enough. My school was pretty small so fortunately all the rest of my humanities classes were seminars we turned in reports for. I would've hated having to do those style exams for my entire degree, even without the handwriting issue.
I don't think I've written anything longer than a couple paragraphs by hand at one time in the past 30 years. I'll still take some notes here and there and I've been known to send a postcard or two if I'm traveling, but typing is so much faster anyway.
