What do you mean how you never write? You can just write what for want to say instead of saying it out loud. It is not a special skill, it's no different than how you write a message, just that you don't hit backspace to go back and correct things.

Yes, that.
If you do that when writing to another person, you come off as blabbering, incoherent moron. Fortunately, very few people do that, because communicating with people who write like they talk is incredibly hard.
I'd worry about trying to do this on purpose; feels like the kind of "learning" that can easily spill over to non-LLM communication and make your life much harder.
There's a middle ground, though.
When shooting IM messages, people sometimes make typps
ypos*
typos**
there's an append-only procedure for fixing that, which I just demonstrated.
Also they don't always finish everything in one message
in fact a nice thing about IMs is being able to not use full sentences
that would work with LLMs, if not for the annoying "feature" that persists in most harnesses:
conversations take turns, and you can just send message after message - you have to wait for LLM to finish.
Correct, it's no different from how you normally write, except for the ways in which it is. We agree.
When you're making a big deal out of it being "much harder" because it's "how you never write" and they're saying that's just "not hitting backspace"? No, you don't agree.
How frequently do you write in a stream of consciousness and not hit backspace?
Maybe give a ballpark estimate of characters typed per week in this manner versus characters typed where you are doing some combination of: 1) thinking about what you're writing before you write it, 2) punctuating and formatting correctly, or 3) correcting your writing output?
Ridiculous proposition. And I type correctly at 110+ wpm.
