AI助手越来越聪明，人类对它们的依赖也开始越来越高。
比如写邮件，AI助手可以提醒我们接下来应该怎么写，你只需要输入几个字母，它就能猜测你要写的内容，会显示建议的词或句子。
过去，我们需要手动输入的常用内容，现在AI助手可以自动为我们完成。
这样发邮件的速度比以前快了很多，内容质量也更好。
但是，这样依赖AI，我们会失去什么吗？
写作，不论是手写还是打字，都需要大脑的多种功能进行。
我们的大脑总是在预测，比如在嘈杂的地方，即使只听到部分声音，我们也能猜测说话者想表达的意思。
但如果机器帮助我们写作，可能会影响我们大脑的工作方式。
现在，不仅是邮件系统，很多智能手机也有文本预测功能，智能回复功能等，这些功能都是为了简化我们的打字任务。
虽然AI可以帮助我们快速写作，但人们对这种自动完成功能有复杂的看法。
有些人觉得它很神奇，但也有人担心机器代替人类的交流，可能会失去人与人之间真实的沟通乐趣；
也有人担心这会影响我们的语言使用习惯。
由于AI是基于我们以前输入的内容学习的，这可能会产生错误的建议，影响我们的写作方式。
而且研究发现，使用文本预测的学生可能会犯更多的错误。
现在，人们越来越多地使用AI技术来完成写作任务，但我们是否因此而失去了对语言的真实体验和欣赏呢？
