If ML was used on my signature I would never be able to use a bank, pretty sure I've never written it remotely similar.

All I consider a Signature to be is like a confirmation, pretty much the same as a checkbox or clicking an OK button, just in a more inconvenient form

This is what it's become. I just scribble a line mostly, because most signatures are done on an electronic device (nothing beats good ol' pen and paper). And this is how employees actually feel about a signature.

But when you open a credit card the employee is supposed to verify that the signature matches the signature on your state-issued id, and a basic AI program would only better enable the employee. Seems like such an obvious solution to counter fraud too

Credit card employees aren't verifying anything. All of my credit cards have been opened remotely: online, and through the mail.

And I can count on one hand the time a merchant has actually checked my signature against the credit card. And for charges under $50, most places don't even ask for a signature.

Best to just get rid of the signature entirely and speed up the transaction. It's pointless.
