Personally, I like that my handwriting has tiny inconsistencies in every character and rarely-repeated flourishes.
I don't want to manufacture something that looks like it, but loses the soul of it.
I used something like this tool to create 10 different fonts of my handwriting. Then I wrote scripts to randomize which font was used for each character, ensuring that no word had that same variant of a single letter. It worked incredibly well for a personalized printed mail campaign. It really did look hand written.
edit: basically what DANmode replied to the same parent. I did this 10 years ago while running for political office.

1) Not a throaway, can't remember what my old account is called
2) Feel free to screen shot. Stick it on your desktop and set a reminder and check the state of the world in 12 months time.
Job done fella.
For some of us, the world has already changed drastically. I am shipping more code, better code, less buggy code WAY faster than ever before. Big systemic changes for the better to our infra as well. There are days where I easily do 2 weeks worth of my best work ever.
I totally understand that not everyone is having that experience. And yet until people live it, it seems they just discount the experience others are having.
I'll take the 12 month bet.
You also have to expose the API in the first place.
the LLM writes that too

I have a small-ish vertical SaaS that is used heavily by ~700 retail stores. I have enabled our customer success team to fix bugs using GitHub copilot. I approve the PRs, but they have fixed a surprising number of issues.

LLMs have indeed increased developer productivity: now 1 developer with LLM can generate the same amount of technical debt as 100 junior developers.
I have been using AI to remove tech debt faster than ever before.
If somebody asks a question on Stackoverflow, it is unlikely that a human who does not know the answer will take time out of their day to completely fabricate a plausible sounding answer.
People are confidently incorrect all the time. It is very likely that people will make up plausible sounding answers on StackOverflow.
You and I have both taken time out of our days to write plausible sounding answers that are essentially opposing hallucinations.
There are references to using connectors to connect to databases, but I can't find any documentation on how to actually do that.
It really comes down to the teachers skill and personality- and that often comes down to if the school can afford the best teachers. Often in the USA regular public schools in wealthy communities will have better teachers than you will find at most private Montessori schools.
Part of schools "affording" the best teachers is not money, but the amount of discipline problems they need to deal with. Which correlates to the financial status of the families at that school. For tons of reasons.
Which families tend to win the lottery to go to these schools? The parents that can afford to. Even if the school is free, the transportation is often not. Plus the parents have to have enough free time to be aware of the lottery for their 3 year old.
