cool story, but

  Every time you use an auto-complete writing tool like TextSpark.ai you are drawing on a vast pool of reading and writing experience equivalent to hundreds if not thousands of years of human life experience. Such tools could allow you to write like no human has ever written before.
maybe im missing something but auto completion is totally different to self-training against a chess ai... one builds your brain muscle, the other could atrophy it

It's also not the best analogy to use because it betrays an utter lack of understanding of the purpose of language. No matter how fancy the phrases an AI might construct it's at best an additional translation barrier between the reader and the author.
