That makes sense. What the long-term effects of such 'performance enhancing' tools might mean for how its users think, or externalise those thoughts, is hard to call.
I also wonder what it means if everyone is farming out parts of their intellect to similar models, which might be limited pathologically, by training data or enforcement.
Yep. I don't use spell-checking and I don't use auto-complete bars on phone keyboards, largely because I feel it keeps my skills sharp. I would use tools like the article describes when I deem them to have become necessary to stay competitive at what I do, but at the moment I don't feel it's clear-cut whether their use would promote or harm my faculties to write.
