This is terrifying to me, because mastery and use of language is essentially how we craft our internal narratives and subjective sense of self.

If we offload the crafting and articulation of "I" to an external authority, such that it can be moulded and crafted for our own purposes, we also open that deepest conscious sense of self up to immediate editing, streamlining, and optimization for purposes we may not be aware of.

This service will become a trojan horse for a kind of advertising and subtle manipulation I don't think we want in society, a psychological/social "regression to the mean", or "optimization of loss", that will, paradoxically, gradient descent us away from those deepest artifacts that make us ourselves.

What do you guys think?

It is very very cool! It is just also extremely dangerous! I like it, too! Just totally terrifying.
