Combine this with ChatGPT and a Pen Plotter and you can offer heartfelt hand-written letters as a service. (That are neither handwritten, nor heartfelt, but people won't notice, or care.)

One step closer to the movie Her

In "Her" a human is composing the letters so this is one step further.

In order to be "realistic" it introduces too much variation between the alphabets; a real handwriting has generally less drastic variations and the degree of variation also varies from alphabet to alphabet.

"real" handwriting also gets tired so it becomes progressively worse. unless the person writes a lot. which is why you see people who write left-to-write on a blank page compress and slant upward as they go.

This is perfect for those ransom letters I send out. I no longer need to search around for newspapers and am going to save a fortune on sticky tape!

Just don't print it at home! Your printer is probably a snitch.

Or you can buy a plotter.

This would have been so awesome to have something like this in my high school years in Eastern Europe, where teachers ask for you to write essays by hand instead of typing them. The font is similar to my handwriting, but fails on letters with accents.
