When people interact with spouses and coworkers, it's still human-to-human interaction. There is a person on the other end. Not quite the same when your head doctor, DJ, gym coach, and nutritionist are the same sycophant machine who's eager to let you know how absolutely right you are.


>There is a person on the other end.

Not sure why that matters tbh.

Cognitive Offloading is a human ability. We built a tool that can be used with it in absence of another person.

The argument seemed to be that Cognitive Offloading dehumanised a person, but now things have shifted to "Its only good with another human".

If its worthwhile we will do it, if its not worthwhile we wont.
