I don’t think you have to necessarily worry about them degrading your own performance (essentially, the mind’s “consciousness” works in a sort of all or nothing way unless you explicitly train it to parallel process), so any difference is likely to be negligible to the point of being unnoticeable.
In terms of thinking rationally… well Tulpas can help point out your mistakes, if you don’t notice them, but they also use the same hardware as you, so, for example, if you have ADHD, your tulpa will also have ADHD.
An out-of-control dark rationalist tulpa that fights me for mental and physical control sound absolutely terrifying.
This will not happen, unless you explicitly try to make them that way, which I would advise against.
Being able to specialize in skills seems absurdly overpowered, especially if we each get natural talents for our skills (which some people claim is what happens)
Well, either way, you’d share the same resource: time. I don’t think tulpas have different natural talents, but they can have more interest in certain topics and might be able to learn things faster. Also, unless you undergo separation, you’ll probably share the same memories and abilities.
Speaking of, in HPMOR, Harry’s House sides, internal self critic, and all his other models of people in his mind are very similar to tulpas and may actually be tulpas.
