Currently there is a general idea that either you are conversing with a human or else you are conversing with a chatBot that is faking being a human. But what will happen after that binary distinction no longer makes sense?
Eventually, people will use A.I. to augment their conversation in more granular ways. I may start a thought but then let my A.I., which has been trained on my writings and thought processes, fill out the details.
This is already happening to some extent. Students are using ChatGPT as a helper when writing essays. The resulting essay isn’t entirely written by either student or computer, but rather by a combination of the two.
At some point, when the technology is there to support it, this mode of operation will begin to work its way into even the most casual and spontaneous conversations. I wonder whether that will be a good thing or a bad thing.
