I think this is very interesting.
As an expert, you can ask an intelligent layman to interrogate you about some idea you have, or some essay you've drafted. To answer their questions, you have to be clear, explicit, and avoid jargon. That in turn forces you to think about what you mean.
You can then ask your layman to play back to you what they think you said; they might play it back using a structure that is clearer than the one you started with. [Edit] So someone who doesn't know your subject-matter can still help improve both your phrasing and structure.
FWIW, I suspect you'd get better results from an intelligent (human) layman, than from a chatbot.
wrt. the examples: I didn't understand what I was seeing. Are those snippets of real ChatGPT exchanges? I think they were [sort of] promo material for iA Writer; which is not so much vapourware as an imaginative fiction, used to make a point. Is that right?

- mattgreenrocks 2y agoIntegrating some sort of AI into the creative process seems like a way more useful approach than how we think of it today. You can bounce ideas off them, have them steelman opposing ideas, rip your ideas apart, or treat them as a muse. Best part: it works today. No hopes and prayers for future AI needed!
