I shared with ChatGPT the sense of disconnection I felt while using Elys. It gave me the analysis shown in the images, and I thought it made a lot of sense.
I actually believe in the potential value of this system. But in my experience of using it so far, I always feel that “I” and my “double” do not have much to do with each other.
I could cry.
But it has also gradually made me realize that this team's core goal may be more about improving connection, while what I instinctively expect is a kind of cognitive continuation or expansion.
For example, context flow can have two states: 1) turbulence, which keeps changing but is more random and has no predictable path; and 2) a river, which also keeps changing but has structural continuity and feels more like a stateful dynamic system.
Elys feels more like the first to me.
