Oh, the cursive handwriting... Don't get me started.

But this has been going on for a while. I wrote a few weeks ago about how I have had to cease mentoring master's degree students writing (attempting to write) their theses. I used to enjoy the students, but they simply cannot write. No matter how much time I spend discussing and all but rewriting their entire draft, the revised version I get back is no better than the first. I used to find it shocking, but now just deeply depressing. AI is not going to help the situation; it will merely take over the jobs they might ordinarily have been seeking.
