The rubber dug debugging part is closer to how I feel about using Claude as a diary / executive function add-on, than OPs description. Usually if Claude tries to actively prod me I have a strong negative reaction (and sometimes end up doing the thing, but then spend extra time meta-analyzing if I’m satisfied with this).
Disagree about Eliza though; one reason Claude is good is that it is a better diary index than any I have managed to build before. Being able to ask “What was I thinking about this in February” and find an answer without ripgrepping dozens of files or trying to condense the daily diaries myself, is a big value-add.
