Dangerous tech imo because it removes the ideosyncrasies of the individual and the free will choice to explore variation and anomaly. The completion of a thought would come from a database of informaiton not unlike Wikipedia for example, which is a corrupted and influenced body of data. If one surrenders their thoughts and feelings to a supplmental thinking simulation machine, why bother thinking at all? Allow the machines to do all of the thinking and reduce Humans to mere transport devices, ironcally, including carrying the machine that are thinking for them. Yes, information is speeding up and keeping up is a nightmare, but modifying Humanity to adapt to a machine is the wrong way to go, given that this is step one leading to an integrated (internal) version similar to the intent of today's vaccines. Don't look back on these decisions with regret when the inherent problems are easy to discern today...

>If one surrenders their thoughts and feelings to a supplmental thinking simulation machine, why bother thinking at all? Human brain is a machine as well, which can be stimulated by the sound of a bird... but also with ML algorithms. For the thinking process AI is more relevant than for driving cars, I believe.

@johngil Hi John, thanks for the profound thoughts. But in Totallib, an individual is still a key decision maker. It's up to you to decide in which way you want take down your thoughts. Machine is just a prompt, a so-called kick in the butt to help you achieve what you're capable of faster, better, and more reliably.

@bohdank I suppose I would have to try it to better understand but my skepticism remains. There's a fine line between supplementing and replacing. Once behavior is fully simulated, a machine will logically imagine itself behaving properly to impose past solutions where the current solution requires something unique. You claim these are nudges. There still must be contexual assumptions made. I generally favor the artist who requires uninterrupted flow. Perhaps that's why completion, or nudges feels to be impositional. Will investigate further, and likely comment further. ;)

@bohdank Your very first window says, "Machine Lets you Write to Think." Just sayin'. The exciting, exotic and blinding Nature of science must be kept in check so that no machine is ever pre-empting Human expression. Read the incredible book 'Understanding Media' by Mashall McCluhan...

Does your neural network have any layer of protection against racism, ageism, sexism written by GPT-3?

Good catch, Andrew! We have implemented content filtering that detects any offensive or political language. Safe and sound :)

@bohdank I'd also make it optional for those who research questions of gender, sexism, and politics. Mandatory censorship, i.e. in MS Word, is a real pain for those who work with social studies, interviews, and the *real* world of real people.

@vitaly_patinskas Sure, thanks for pointing this out! This is something we'll be exploring with OpenAI in the future to allow specific use cases that involve such language.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Illia, Totallib’s co-founder. We all keep different notes for as long as we can remember. When we read books/articles or listen to podcasts, we often want to write things down. Our team tried everything from mind maps to a fashionable Cornell Note-Taking System. But all of it proved ineffective for better thinking. Our brain is a beehive of associations, but we are taught to think linearly. Thus, our knowledge doesn’t accrete to help us discover original thinking. Totallib lets you achieve better, more creative thinking through connected note-taking. Why you should try it? ✍🏻Undistracted writing. Modern apps try to do too much. In Totallib, you open a note and write — just like on paper. Simplicity is the new luxury. ⌘Connected thoughts & notes. Hierarchy kills creativity. Totallib lets link notes between each other, so you can build new ideas on top of them. 🤖 Writing augmented by AI. Writing is a phenomenal tool for thought. However, many people never start writing. Whenever you are stuck on a sentence for hours, an AI writing assistant helps you get through it. Just select the text passage you want to develop, click the button, and explore a novel train of thought. No more writer's block or blank page syndrome. ↑ This one was written by GPT-3! The product is live, so you can request access on our website – https://totallib.com. I’m excited to hear what you all think!

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Dmytro, Totallib’s co-founder. For me, the main problem with note-taking apps – all collected writings always turns into a graveyard of wasted linear text crammed into folders. These regular note-taking products do not help a person think, turning everything into a graveyard of ideas, while ‘digital garden’ platforms help to track relationships and think non-linearly. And it doesn't matter whether it's the Zettelkasten method of taking notes or the Cornell Notes method, one thing is important – the process of transformation from collector to creator. Therefore, we place great emphasis on the symbiosis of digital garden + AI. Totallib will not have a blank page syndrome, instead, you will experience a productivity and result syndrome. Which is great, isn't it? 🙂 For us, launching is a journey, not a destination. Check Totallib out and let us know what you think – https://totallib.com Cheers!

The product looks awesome. UI/UX seems very intuitive. I love how simple the solution seems for such a popular problem. I have a question. It seems like Totallib is presenting two solutions, with one solution being the note-linking and the other solution being the augmented writing. I'm curious to hear your answer, what would you say is the single problem that you're solving for your users? How do these two solutions connect, for which users, and why? ?makers Great work. I'd love to stay up to date with this! feleciagcoleman@gmail.com

@gmail @felecia_genet Totallib is a tool for written thought, designed for AI digital age. In a more simple way to say it – Digital garden meets AI. Current tools impose artificial hierarchies that make it hard to make use of the knowledge you’ve accumulated. They add features that distract us more than helping us write. Therefore, people just stop writing. Thanks to GPT-3, Totallib helps you continue writing when you want to quit. Even more, it lets you organize your knowledge in a way that makes you constantly tinker with it and discover new ideas.

I feel you should work on the messaging of the product. "Augmented by AI" I have no clarity on how exactly or what exactly will the AI do for me better. Even after reading the comments. Also the website, has icons and illustrations. It should have actual screenshots of the product and frame them as benefits. Also GPT-3 angle, I'm guessing it will generate a few blocks for me so I'm prompted to write more. While this is true for like content writing, most note taking is personal / information storage. How'd this work there? Or they're out of your target audience? Thank you, appreciate your time

@yash Thanks for the feedback! The effectiveness of GPT-3 completions surely depends on your use case. But we see great potential even in personal applications to help you better express your thoughts.

?makers Please also focus on users who use Zettelkasten-alike methods for personal notekeeping, knowledge management and sharing. There are thousands of us, and your tools seems to be the solution desired by everyone! Can't wait to put my hands on actually trying it.
