That analogy is horseshit because gps and the death of cursive were both need based
Generative ai / chat gpt for writing fiction has no need nor real purpose despite them desperately pinwheeling about jamming it everywhere possible.
The only use I've had for writing cursive in 30 years has been to copy out an anti-cheating pledge on a standardized test, because some fucker thought cursive magically makes a pledge 300% more honest.
yup, hence saying its death was need based.
People don't write cursive for the same reason that councils don't put in new horse troughs.
Absolutely.
