Like I get it in theory, but I feel like I do fine just like remembering what happened in my day and resynthesizing it later.

And the kind of cognition that I'm more okay offloading is like, what's the best way to organize this div class in an HTML doc?

I'll offer you a devil's advocate.

Because I think a lot of Apple's best products come with a great ad that demonstrates how they expect people to use it and the use case for it.

And human memory, everyone knows, is inherently a little bit flawed.

And so there's going to be the use case of like, Siri, where did I leave my blah, blah, blah?

And it's going to go, oh, last place I saw that was Blair.

And you go find it, and it's like, ah, I'm so glad I had this context gathering thing that remembers it because I didn't remember it.

And that's an ad and that's a use case and that's a, oh, I think I might want to buy this.

Well, in the first year of ChatGPT, every AI startup company was some sort of just context necklace.

Yeah, yeah.

I just think we should be aware because I do kind of believe that when you offload forms of cognition to the AI, you lose them and you have to retrain them if you want them back.

You know, and I do think we have to start asking ourselves, like, what are we OK losing?

Because as soon as you start put as soon as you don the pendant and you begin not being as aware because you can sort of just be like, oh, the pendant will remember that.

I think you will very quickly realize that your short term memory is just gone.

Yeah.

And so I think I do think as cool as the idea of I will never lose my keys again will be.

I do think we need to start asking ourselves that question.

Am I willing to lose this part of my brain?

And there are parts again, I've already decided which parts I got rid of.
