I fear that if AI filling the gapsis competing with your own thoughts while using it, your lazy brain goes the easy way and accepts the insinuations of themachine as its own. Beating the entire purpose of having a gizmo that writes down "your very own" thoughts.

That is if this exists. But if it does, it's not what you think it does for you.



Yeah, good point. Especially because most of the time our thoughts are a lot more fuzzy than we might think. Having it put words to it will feel like it's "augmenting" or "clarifying" our thoughts, but in reality it might be just controlling it.


I'm wondering if my Alterego usage will justify my ADHD meds.


in conversations people do finish your sentences (sometimes) which i personally find annoying if they especially finish them incorrectly and i have to take a pause and correct them - but it doesn't force me to accept their words as my thoughts...
