I seem to basically have one verbal ‘stream’, so that I mostly cannot think in words while talking or think in words about two different things. If talking about something that I know werl and have talked about before, I will sometimes find myself doing a little bit of accessory planning (sometimes even in words!) while my mouth moves in coherent ways, but I sorta feel like if I focused on it that the spell would break. It’s an interesting question, though, so I’ll try to notice next time.
I can walk and talk, or drive and talk, easily. The only examples that come to mind of me talking and visualizing were times where I was describing what I was visualizing or reporting a conclusion from my visual thinking, as opposed to talking about something else.
I think my autopilot thinking is more like if Claude only had a context window spanning a dozen tokens.
