I have a friend who listens carefully and starts to mouth and even mumble his brain’s predictions for the next words I am going to say. So, I fuck with him by unexpectedly (even to myself) changing my words (or even the sentence) half way through when I catch him doing it. Predictably, I don’t like being predictable.
The fact that ChatGPT does so well is perhaps a sign we do somewhat generate sentences on the fly. Obviously we mostly listen and read sequentially.
One could test it by using an external random bell to signal you should try and make a significant sentence change e.g. from English to Spanish. How much practice would it take?
From 1984: In the middle of Hate Week, the speaker is halfway through a sentence about hating Eurasia, he is given a note, and he continues the sentence except now Oceania is not, and has never been, at war with Eurasia, and it is Eastasia that is now hated.
