7I wish there was a speech/language technology that could:
8
91. Interface with my brain, somehow.
102. Instantaneously (like milliseconds) create a rough model of *the ideas I want to express verbally* at any given moment.
113. Find words, phrases, and social scripts that are as close to a 1:1 correspondence with *the ideas I want to express verbally* as our language permits, and present these to my brain for me to choose on my own volition.
12
13Could we hypothetically leverage LLM technology to do this? I feel like this would be super practical for me specifically because of my speech issues.
14
15I feel like it would also enhance my language skills, because:
16
171. More information/options would be presented to my brain that would enable me to use my best human judgment in choosing appropriate words, phrases, and social scripts for a given social situation.
182. After some amount of repetition of these patterns, I would eventually *learn* better ways to express ideas for a given social situation, and gradually become less reliant on the technology.
19
20Though, there would still be times when I just don't have the cognitive spoons to articulate things myself, and in these instances I wouldn't mind the technology doing it for me, and all I would have to do is the physical act of vocalizing it.
