My internal dialog was impacted, not just external.
To get retrospectively nerdy, it felt like switching from a raw text based lookup system to a knowledge graph / vector search.
Instead of accessing memories / concepts at a raw text level, I was pulling up lots of metadata and making links to these fusiform concepts that it was invoking. I would then try to find the words to describe what the links were conveying.
That’s fascinating. I know there are a few different kinds of “thinkers” out there. Conceptual, visual, language. I wonder if temporarily devolving language center capability would change someone’s thinking model
