5 parallel universes ahead

Who will explain the concept of a plotter to you?

Teachers are starting to enforce hand written assignments to stop the use of chatGPT

Theoretically it could be 3D printer but used like a plotter here.

"Stuff made here" has a video where he fools around with that idea. Worth checking out imo

I would assume, you have a standard text. That you handwrite. Then scan, so that the 3d printer can write in your handwriting!

All that for nobody to be able to read my crappy handwriting ;)

As part of the copy chain, you need to feed the ChatGPT output into a handwriting neural network you trained in your own handwriting, then have the 3D printer draw it.

Maybe he is swiss, they have some weird quirks. Like they don't do the ß either I believe. Maybe they don't use Umlaute. I'd ask them, but I can't understand them when they talk. That is not even a joke.

It also ignored the "ü" in "für" completely and wrote "fr" instead. This is just stupid. Like fr?

In my view, this is not sad. It's just that education needs to incorporate parts of these new technologies into it. Technology is the future if education still wants you to write with a pen on paper then they are being outdated pretty fast.

Be me in high school. We’re in meth class learning about random numbers and probabilities. The teacher says “in your calculator, random number is likely written rand()”. So I go into the Casio programmable calculator and start coding instead of listening to the lesson. Teacher noticed I’m not looking and calls me out. Threaten a detention and asks what I have been doing. “I made a gambling game” — teacher comes over to see. I had made a rice rolling game. You’d start with $100 and bet on rolls ( you could chose 1 or 2 die or coin toss). Bell rings and all my friends come lining up for me to transfer the program to their calculators with the transfer cable (a micro TRRS cable).

Little did they know there is a “virus” that I’d you land on snake eyes, the program launches an infinite loop, printing pages and page of space characters and the calculator is really slow at typing and print commands can’t be interrupted other than resetting the calculator and loosing all your programs.

I was thinking about that, but the lines, kerning, and consistency would give it away. Unless you have some app that’ll fuck with all that a bit.

This one probably. I do remember this video of someone actually making one that a professional forgery expert flat out said was convincing enough that he would have believed it was handwriting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQO2XTP7QDw

The first time maybe

spend an hour writing or 10 hours failing to automate it

yeah but is it as fun?

Hear me out:

Run a script remotely when you're teacher is giving your homework!

I mean, you could install a character pack that has variation and then there is nothing they can do about it.

Depends on the age, in college my homework was like a check mark for 10% of my grade. Ignore it at your peril. In middle school you gotta see they are actually doing some work before you flunk them.

Depends what kind of homework. A huge portion of school is just there to learn how to learn. Learn how to teach yourself something. Getting the fundamental basics of knowledge and how to tackle subjects that are strange, foreign, boring.

Some things you'll have to learn by yourself. Students between 5 - 14 are just not there to learn vocabulary, basic maths, etc. on their own. It gives every student the chance to do it at their own pace, find their own way how to learn and understand it best, using the tools they learned during class.

That the execution of this theory is not the best (especially in certain countries) is obvious, however, I think without homework I would have no tools nowadays to get into a new, complicated topic without being tutored/ guided all the way through.

Fun fact: it was invented by Roberto Nevilis, who did it to punish students who didn't understand much of the content/did not want to understand much of the content. However I suppose he didn't expect teachers to use this globally.

I do agree with your points above and who knows, maybe chatgpt will finally force schools to be reinvented and remade for the next generation to be more engaging.

I love how we will work for hours to invent something that will save us minutes of work.

It's about sending a message!

But if you do the initial setup time once, you've got much less work the rest of the year!

This is innovation, and problem solving the small stuff is a very important skill in the modern day work environment.

Do I wasn't to hand calculate an entire statistical analysis, no. I use excell.

It doesn't make the work any more or less valid. If you can Google something in under a minute, don't bother spending a tonne of time trying to remember it.

That is way too easily said. I used a lot of tactics like these to get through high school for subjects I will never care about. Now I am in college and able to do a job I love.
