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

        Sounds like a disability act lawsuit waiting to happen tbh. Some of us have very poor fine motor skills or worse and would be severely disadvantaged by having to do even short hand written assignments…

            Thanks, I’ve never dealt with that before. But from what I’ve read, a regular printer would still make more sense for such a task.

              Benefits of a plotter in this case:

              • easier to align with the existing lines on the paper
              • the ink doesn’t look printed (depending on the pen; I would use a blue ball-pen to make text look more authentic)
              • there are pressure-marks left on the paper, you wouldn’t have these on regular printers

                And as I found out in this thread, you can also adjust the handwriting. That’s cool. But in the picture, the writing looks so artificial that the person could have used a normal printer.

                  You can plot anything.

                  I use it mostly to print drawings onto birthday cards.

                  (btw, I totally agree that OPs results are far from look handwritten; just wanted to stand in for some benefits of plotting in general. If I would try what op does I guess I would try things very differently)

    Honestly, if teachers are going to continue assigning stupid homework that can be completed by chatgpt then they have no excuse.

    Homework is so pointless anyway. If a student needs to revise work to properly learn it. They should be trusted to just study independently or when needed be helped by the teacher.

      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.

    Why is it writing German words with “ae” instead of the umlaut (ä)? That makes sense, if you’re typing on a keyboard, but ChatGPT should be capable of outputting umlauts and it shouldn’t be difficult either, to make that 3D printer place two dots above an “a”…

      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.

        The only orthographic difference is not using ß.

        There are more differences but they are in the vocabulary. The Swiss use a lot of French words. Velo instead of Fahrrad, Trottoir instead of Bürgersteig, Cheminée instead of Kamin, Porte-Monnaie instead of Brieftasche, Camion instead of Lastkraftwagen, and so on.

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

    Pyramiden sind [?]auwerken

    Pyramids are [?] architectural works
    in Egypt & North Africa.
    Tombs for Pharaohs and [their] families.
    The most famous Cheo…

    The author replaced the missing Ä/ä in the stroke font with Ae/ae, which is only used in German in URLs, usernames and other places that don’t allow diacritics. However, the ü in für is still missing. This could only pass as handwritten notes at a glance even if the font replicates one’s handwriting perfectly. However, this is unlikely to be a real assignment for anyone over 12 years old (which I assume the author is because of the effort of repurposing a 3D printer and syncing up the lines) given that the answer is basically a Wikipedia page summary.

    Y’all silly. They already have machines that write stuff out for you with pens and stuff. And markers, too.

    I have one! A Cricut. But there are more kinds out there.
