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?

      Let me try and rack my brain for everything I’ve digitally signed

      • recruitment/employment agency (about 2-5 different ones i think)
      • medical stuff? Definitely for private medical care like dentist and foot doc, whereas NHS can just ask for DOB and NHS number.
      • online registration at uni maybe

      It’s not that they’re not allowing written signatures but that they’ve removed them from everything because it’s all done online - they have no space to try and write one with your mouse or your finger, like usual.

      If you show up in person they get one on a tablet, though, usually.
