the one benefit i see is as a final “lock in your answer” function for any form you’re submitting.

And did they have to stop allowing written signatures because of AI scraping? Or is it just because they never looked legible at all?

    the other way is literally just an image (of your signature)

    I’ve done that a few times, in GIMP (or Photoshop), and was always a little surprised that it seemed to be enough. Maybe I unwittingly “forged” my own signature? That’s legally murky…

      It’s really just a digital way to do the equivalent of printing the document, signing it, and scanning it again. Which is also accepted in a lot of situations.
