My best friend is spending 100 days writing hand written letters of love to those who contributed to her life’s journey. There’s humanity and connectedness with writing that no other medium offers both the writer and the reader. Her writing has been received with such love, tears of joy, and mutual appreciation. This includes book authors that she’s found herself meaningfully influenced and inspired by. She’s half way through the project, and I’m sure she’d be happy to connect if you’d like any tips.
One big tip is make sure your hands are ready with the proper pen and hand exercises.
Any chance she's going to write anything about this when she's done? I'd love to read somebody's account of this experience. Very cool idea.
She’s been encouraged to by many people who’ve been moved by her letters including myself. If you want to message me, I can share more when she does.
Also interested; how can I message you?
By the way, I just wanted to also say I love big chunks of this whole comments section; so much pure positivity and human beauty in one place, so soothing, uplifting, and inspiring to me. Thanks hereby to everyone sharing around here how they're consciously recognizing and acting in various amazing ways on the good they received.

The hand written letters have mistakes and flow that are perfectly imperfect. Also it looks like despite all their effort, they still went able to get the robot to anywhere near replicating human level writing in even a short note.
At the end of the video a handwriting expert who worked for the FBI to detect fraud had this to say about the project:
> If I didn't know any better, it could be an actual writing by an individual not a machine.
I'm a bit dubious about 'hand writing experts'. Have their skills actually been properly tested in a meaningful way?
the expert in question has written books on the topic, and consulted to US government agencies like CIA. I think he has some credibility.
Credibility and veracity are not the same thing. You can be a world class authority in something that is completely bogus.
this would be a definition of a paradox, how can you be world class authority in something bogus?
There were experts on phrenology.
