Robots began replacing human brawn long ago—now they’re poised to replace human brains. Moshe Vardi, a computer science professor at Rice University, thinks that by 2045 artificially intelligent machines may be capable of “if not any work that humans can do, then, at least, a very significant fraction of the work that humans can do.”
So, he asks, what then will humans do?

Please, please, please DON’T use script fonts in ALL CAPS.

There may be a few exceptions but I’ve yet to see an example of a script face that looks good and is readable in all capital letters. If you feel you MUST use a script face in all caps, choose one that has few extra flourishes.
You might be able to get away with all caps with one of these free script fonts:

Dyspepsia - narrow, upright font but watch out for some of those tails such as Q, J, Z, L, and Y.

Print Handwriting - these do better than cursive fonts for use in all caps
