      Already happening. My kid in high school has more tests and papers required to be hand-written this year.

      And yes, TurnItIn legitimately caught him writing a paper with AI. Even the best kids make the stupid/lazy choice

      When I was in college (2000-2004), we wrote our long papers on computers but we had what were called “blue books” for tests that were like mini notebooks. And many of the tests were basically, “Here is the topic. Write for up to an hour.”

      And now my hand cramps if I write anything longer than a check. I can also type quickly enough that it basically matches the speed of my train of thoughts but actually writing cursive with a pen now, I get distracted and think, “Wait, how does a cursive capital ‘G’ go? Oh yeah. Hold on. What was I going to write?”

      I pity the kids that have always typed for what their hands will go through on written tests
