Predictive Clustering: Whenever your writing is predictable (for example, when responding to something or after the first few sentences of a new post), an LLM could vaguely predict the points you might make. It could cluster these points, allowing you to point and click on the relevant cluster. For instance, in a political piece, you might first click, “I [Agree | Disagree | Raise Interesting Other Point | Joke].” You then select “Raise interesting point,” and it presents you with 5-20 points you might want to raise, along with a text box to add your own. Once you add your point, you can choose a length.
This seems like something that is very likely to come into existence in the near future, but I hope does not. Not only does it rob people of the incredibly useful practice of crafting their own arguments, I think putting better words in the user’s mouth than the user planned to say can influence the way the user actually thinks.
