Tbh, pen plotters have been around for a really long time

I personally just find China loves to embellish their tech so they appear advanced by using ambiguous terms such as 'robot' and 'AI'.
It turned out that her daughter had spent more than 800 yuan (about S$160) to buy it online using her lai see — the packet of money given during the new year for luck. Angered by a demonstration she watched on how the robot could copy homework, Ms Zhang smashed the appliance.
“It can help you with homework, but can it help you on tests?” Ms Zhang was quoted as saying.
I understand the pressure for students in Hong Kong to do well in standardised tests, but are there any that just get you to write the same characters over and over again? Have people been under-performing because they just couldn't write fast enough?
Maybe has something to do with learning to remember the insane amount of unique symbols to use your language.
No way you can remember them properly unless you know how to write them.
rote memorization is an antiquated form of education that really doesn't work but asian schools adhere to because it also is all about discipline and fits their cultures. I had an indian friend in college that said his cousin could memorize an entire textbook but had no idea what it was about. Copying texts is a massive waste of time when you're not teaching the understanding of the material of the text.
if anyone's interested in this topic, i highly recommend checking out the short story "King of Children" (孩子王, Haizi Wang) by Ah Cheng if you can find a translated version or read chinese
Requiring children to copy text — such as vocabulary, textbook passages
or poems — hundreds of times is common practice in Chinese schools.
Explains why the Chinease have near zero originality then
I guess it pays to not have any originality and imagination in a country like China
It looks like whatever these things are can also extract text from anything scanned
