Bond. James Bond. Handwriting robotic fake for marketers and social engineers.

Marketers quickly found out that there is a vulnerability in the "decision-making system for trust" - people are more likely to trust a handwritten text than a printed one. Handwritten fonts and signatures appeared quickly in ads / letters, but they were easily recognized. Now there is the possibility of automated writing "by hand" with a real pen (even a fountain pen), taking into account all the indentation, distance of irregularities, non-observance of proportions, pressure and angle (there are traces of chocolate and coffee left automatically to emulate).

Where there are bugs with confidence, there are social engineers right there. Diving in trash cans will now bear more fruit. You can type a sufficient amount of handwritten text to counterfeit.

At the service Bond, which provides services for sending real letters, there is every chance to pass the "Turing handwritten test" (ie a person will not be able to distinguish whether this text was written by a person or a robot).

I often said that I know IT enough to not trust IT, and now trust in “real documents” has collapsed. It is enough to feed several school essays to neural networks so that they can write for me (and even better than me). By the way, the Bond service provides services for improving / tuning your handwriting.

So, what do we need to leave a will on us?
Step one. Create a 3d printer that emulates a freehand letter
Step two. We create a self-learning program and feed it several sheets of the ~~victim’s~~ handwritten textCustomer
Step Three. Profit
