Reply to comment by ex_sanguination in ChatGPT: Use of AI chatbot in Congress and court rooms raises ethical questions by mossadnik

Yeah I hear that. They have my kid memorizing spellings and definitions of words. He gets an A on every test. Then forgets all of it a few weeks later

It's all above my pay grade and I don't envy you as a parent in today's climate, but I'm sure your little ones gonna be alright :)

Hell, remember cursive? 🤣

I still write in pseudocursive to this day, and, while people say it's pretty, its also a bitch to read.

You should try and learn architectural print. I was also cursive but switched in uni and it’s more legible and I write just as fast.

I remember it but I don't remember why I had to learn it.

Memorisation and spelling are good. It wasn’t long ago people were saying autocorrect meant you didn’t need to learn spelling which is basically the same thing as this atm but for longer form writing.

Memorisation and spelling without putting into practice ie writing essays and reports and fiction, is bad because as you say people just forget it if they don’t use it.
