Isn't this like saying "my words are not really my own when I speak to my family, because I know my father is a non-native English speaker and hard of hearing so I try to use words which are well enunciated and are few in syllable count"?

You can take it one step further! As Tyutchev wrote, "A thought once uttered is a lie." [1] Speech is a projection of a thought, and a lossy one. So no matter who is the listener, the speaking/writing does affect the thinking. Though comment on LLM transcribing is spot on.
