Earlier quoted context omitted.

Using half your fingers is different from using two.

I can type with two fingers faster than I can type with full hands. I’m still trying to get my touch typing up to the speed of my two fingers. I spent two years typing with just my forefingers, and can dk 80wpm with 99+ accuracy and I don’t look at the keyboard. With two hands I’m still at 60-65 roughly and with worse accuracy but I’m sure it will come with time.

Doesn't sound real. I've typed correctly my whole life and have a lower WPM than that. You'd need to move your fingers at superhuman speeds to achieve that with just two wingers.

I spent literally thirty years typing with two forefingers, and note, I didn’t need to look at the keyboard. Also worked as a software engineer that whole time. So I had a lot of practice.

It’s why it’s taken me so long to try and adapt to touch typing. Too much muscle memory to rewire.

I talked to a therapist who hated doing notes. So I proposed a solution: Use Microsoft's "seeing AI" to describe the children playing during "play therapy". Then have a camera take a picture every few minutes, and then have chatgpt come up with the story based on the pictures and transcript of the audio, transcribed with openai whisper. Business in a nutshell!

This is not really how therapists work. It’s how it looks like they work. This is a really big problem with the AI industry. People don’t know the domain well enough and assume it is a fit. Oh look, just throw this at it and done. Simples! Then you find that therapists, of the non quack variety at least, spend years working on how to remove bias from their assessment and learning subtle cues and indicators from their…

Ok I was actually joking. AI (up to this point - although the new OpenAI could probably do it), is not even close to being able to handle it. This was tongue in cheek and not meant to be taken seriously.

I am married to said therapist so I always joke with her.
