If something is a repetitive habit that you can do almost without thinking, there is a good chance an AI could infer that entire chain. I think what's more likely is that an AI based interface will end up being superior after it has ha

Would you care to share the credentials you have that allow you to make a sweeping statement about it being impossible to separate the two? Because that was a line of propaganda attack, but I'm willing to give you a chance to prove you
