Heh thanks for sharing. my boundary between self and other feels much more blurry :)
Like if I overhear a conversation, watch a documentary, and read a billboard, and ideas from each recombine in my head to create some interpolated idea, I'm not even sure how much I get credit for that, I suppose
My role seems just to tend to the garden of my mind, so new things might grow there that I can share. AI is just another plant, or maybe it's another gardener who brings me clippings or seeds.
I dunno, just the idea of me doing almost anything "myself" feels a bit challenging to my worldview. I see no particularly honour in thinking of something in isolation (in fact, being immersed in other ideas/ppl/inspiration seems the key ingredient)... except insofar as stealing ideas or failing to attribute seems dishonest
(I'm not saying my worldview is the right one btw)
I'm not saying I'm not influenced or inspired by anything. Nothing is truly from scratch without recreating the entire universe. I just mean I don't like AI assistance for the same reason I don't like people trying to finish my sentences while I'm talking.

EDIT: recently heard about the Schwartz theory of basic human values, and guessing you score much higher than me on "self-direction" :) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_basic_human_values
