Is it necessary for "handwriting fetish" or formalism to see the popularity of imitation handwriting tools?

Hot selling over 30000 yuan, a "handwriting imitation tool" has become popular on e-commerce platforms. The robot lifted the pen and swung its "arms". As soon as they fell together, several lines of characters resembling those written by real people appeared on the paper. The reporter found in the interview that handwriting robots have become office tools for some workers who are struggling with handwriting materials. The interviewed experts stated that requiring all types of materials to be handwritten is a typical formalist expression. This does not help solve the problems that assessment and supervision expect to solve, and even has the opposite effect. In the tutorial videos provided by handwriting robot merchants, users can set the text content, paper format, and font on their computers or phones, and the robot can pick up a pen to write on paper at a speed of approximately 150-200 words per minute. There are thousands of fonts in the font library. In addition, users can also input their own handwriting in the system, and robots can imitate the user's handwriting to generate handwritten manuscripts. On social media platforms, many teachers can share the usage of handwriting robots and how to make the characters written by robots more realistic. Some use different fonts to mix and write, while others constantly feed their own handwriting to the system in pursuit of simulation. Middle school teacher Liu Shan has a good understanding of using handwriting robots. In her daily work, meeting minutes, teaching plans, and other materials are often five to six thousand words per piece. Preparing and attending classes have taken up her work time, and spending time copying materials by hand makes her feel tired. The school stipulates that specific materials must be handwritten, but there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. After careful consideration, Liu Shan purchased a handwriting robot. Previously, it took one or two days to manually copy a material, but now the robot can finish writing it in a short while. In her opinion, the words written by the robot may not appear obvious at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one will notice that the strokes are not coherent. Fortunately, the material is measured in kilograms and was not detected during inspection. But some teachers were also detected. A high school teacher told reporters that during an inspection by the school's academic affairs office, she was caught using a robot to copy materials. There is a difference between the handwriting imitated by robots and the handwriting corrected by oneself, but the key lies in the level of inspection. Grassroots workers are calling for "liberation of hands" to face weekly 20 page meeting minutes and daily study notes. Grassroots worker Wang Ning and many colleagues around her can no longer do without the handwriting robot she purchased. "Unit leaders can see it, but they just turn a blind eye, and they also oppose handwriting." She also believes that most materials have no meaning in handwriting. Middle school teacher He Xian said that whether handwriting should be done should not be generalized, but rather depends on the specific situation. In her daily work, in addition to listening to textbooks, preparing textbooks, taking meeting minutes, teaching experiences, etc., young teachers also need to handwrite and observe textbooks. She believes that for young teachers, teaching and research work must be done by hand, listening notes should be handwritten, and lesson preparation and other trivial work materials can be selected in handwritten or electronic form according to personal preferences. At the same time, the age range of teachers is large, and it is also necessary to consider the electronic device operation ability of experienced teachers. Taking teaching experience as an example, although writing is not what I wrote, the content and ideas are my own
